A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible Red Flag Warnings.

DESCRIPTION

…SCATTERED DRY LIGHTNING IS LIKELY MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR MOUNTAINS…

.A pulse of moisture moving up the Central Valley combined with very hot and dry surface conditions and moderate easterly winds will combine to create scattered dry thunderstorms over the interior mountains. Any storms that do form will likely produce wetting rain in the cores but lightning is possible far from these cores in areas that will remain dry. Stroms Monday are most likely over Northern Trinity and Interior Humboldt with moderate movement towards the coast. Stroms Tuesday will be more stationary and are most likely to form over southern Trinity and Northern Mendocino Counties.

* THUNDERSTORMS…Scattered dry thunderstorms are likely (25% chance) Monday Tuesday afternoons. There is a slight chance of isolated thundersotrms overnight Monday into Tuesday.

* OUTFLOW WINDS…Gusty and erratic outflow winds are possible up to 50 mph.

* IMPACTS…any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
