Wondering how the got its name? In general, wildfires are named after nearby landmarks so that incoming firefighters can easily find the fire. In this case the fire is located south of the Flying Bucket Ranch Airport.

Monsoon is about 2 months away, and it could not come sooner. Captured this nice tall bolt over Nogales, Arizona last year at the height of the season.

There is a possibility you noticed it was windy today, perhaps just breezy, depending on your state of mind and location. You may have thought, 'man, it sure is windy!', or, 'man, I really hate this wind!' Either way, you might not know how windy it really was, now you do.

A view of todayโ€™s ignition operations on the Wolf Fire in Arizona.

Looks like good clean fire. Itโ€™s going to look like a park.

A forest closure area has been implemented around the incident.

CPC has bumped up the probabilities of above normal precipitation in the 6-to-10-day outlook. The chance of below normal precipitation is only 20 percent. Average precipitation in Tucson is .03 inches so it would not be much, but it is nice to see green on this map.
