A Red Flag Warning has been issued today for areas E of Tucson including for the #SanRafaelFire.

Gusty winds will combine with very low relative humidity resulting in critical fire weather conditions.

Some slight improvement possible with lighter winds later this week. #azwx https://twitter.com/NWSTucson/status/1523631494362664962/photo/1
