Areas included in the warnings are: Flagstaff, Prescott, Williams, the Grand Canyon, Winslow, the Navajo Nation and areas in between. However, Flagstaff and Williams are not in the Red Flag Warning area Friday thanks to rains overnight.

Winds are expected to be 25-to-35 miles an hour today, with gusts possibly reaching 60 miles per hour across Northern Arizona. With high winds, any spark could start a wildfire and could spread quickly.
