...RED FLAG WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM PDT FRIDAY...

THE RED FLAG WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM PDT FRIDAY.

SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING BEFORE DECREASING
OVERNIGHT. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES HAVE BEEN DROPPING RAPIDLY THE
PAST FEW HOURS AND WILL REMAIN BELOW 15 PERCENT ENABLING HAZARDOUS
FIRE CONDITIONS TO PERSIST...THEREFORE THE RED FLAG WARNING HAS
BEEN CONTINUED UNTIL 2 AM PDT FRIDAY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A RED FLAG WARNING MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE EITHER OCCURRING OR ARE IMMINENT. A COMBINATION OF STRONG
WINDS...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...AND WARM TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE
EXTREME FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL.
