Red flag warning again today for Cochise County today


Published/Last Modified on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 3:08 PM MDT


SIERRA VISTA — Windy conditions and low humidity have again brought about a red flag warning for Cochise County and Southeastern Arizona.


The National Weather Service issued the warning, which means there is a high or extreme fire danger in the area due to weather conditions. It is the second day the weather service has issued such a warning for Cochise County.

Wednesday’s warning went into effect at 10 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m.

The windy weather is coming via a “weather disturbance” moving through the Western states, according to the weather service.

In its planning forecast on Wednesday, the Electronic Proving Ground’s Meteorological Support Team said winds on Wednesday afternoon will come from the southwest and be between 20 to 25 mph, with gusts of 35 mph or more in some areas.
