Blooming saguaro

A saguaro blooms in the Catalina Foothills. Blooms can be unpredictable, but peak blooms usually occur from mid-May to mid-June.

The dry, windy conditions in southeast Arizona are keeping the region in a Red Flag Warning for risk of fires.

The warning will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for areas east of Tucson, including Cochise, Graham and Greenlee counties.

Temperatures will stay cooler today, in the low 70s. Tomorrow will only be in the mid-60s with a good chance of rain.

High: 73

Low: 52
