A strong storm system for this time of the year will bring moderate to strong winds through this evening. Because the best chance for precipitation will remain west of the Cascades, relative humidities will be low and this in combination with winds could result in critical conditions for eastern portions of Lake and Modoc counties, and into western Harney County. Winds will be strong again on Friday, but humidity values will be higher. * IMPACTS...Strong winds combined with critically low relative humidity can lead to the rapid growth and spread of new and existing fires. Outdoor burning is banned during fire season. * AFFECTED AREA...The eastern half of California Fire Weather Zone 285, this includes Alturas. The eastern part of Oregon Fire weather zone 625, this includes Adel and Alkali Lake. * WIND...Southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. * HUMIDITY...10 to 15 percent. * DETAILED URL...View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=mfr Red Flag Warning 2024-08-22T15:48:00-07:00 2024-08-22T15:48:00-07:00 2024-08-22T15:48:00-07:00 2024-08-22T20:00:00-07:00 Actual Update Met Expected Severe Likely Modoc County Except for the Surprise Valley; South Central Oregon Desert including the BLM Land in Eastern Lake and Western Harney Counties SAME 006049 SAME 041025 SAME 041037 UGC CAZ285 UGC ORZ625 AWIPSidentifier RFWMFR WMOidentifier WWUS86 KMFR 222248 NWSheadline RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM PDT THIS EVENING FOR STRONG GUSTY WIND AND LOW RH FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 285 AND 625 BLOCKCHANNEL EAS BLOCKCHANNEL NWEM BLOCKCHANNEL CMAS VTEC /O.CON.KMFR.FW.W.0023.000000T0000Z-240823T0300Z/ eventEndingTime 2024-08-23T03:00:00+00:00 expiredReferences w-nws.webmaster@noaa.gov,urn:oid:2.49.0.1.840.0.96e434bdc9c1083b03a5d68d10c6588d399907cc.001.2,2024-08-21T13:15:00-07:00
