NWS RED FLAG WARNING
(Click to go to NWS web site)
A Red Flag Warning is issued by National Weather Service (NWS) to call attention to critical weather conditions that may result in extreme fire behavior. A Red Flag Warning is issued hours to a full day in advance of the critical fire weather event. A Fire Weather Watch is issued when conditions are possible 1-3 days in advance.
Always observe local fire restrictions and closures – they are put into effect to protect lives and property during dry, fire-prone periods. And, as always but especially during Red Flag Warning periods, be extremely careful with activities that:
1. Involve open flames (smoking, campfires, ditch burning, etc)
2. Generate sparks (welding, weed-whacking, lawn mowing, etc), or
3. Create intense heat (Don’t park on dry grass – your catalytic converter is hot, etc)
