RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM SUNDAY TO 5 PM PDT MONDAY FOR DRY LIGHTNING AND GUSTY ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS OVER EXISTING WILDFIRES.

The National Weather Service in San Francisco has issued a Red Flag Warning...which is in effect from 5 AM Sunday to 5 PM PDT Monday. The Fire Weather Watch is longer in effect.  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.

* WIND...Prevailing winds will be southwest, light in the morning
and breezy to locally gusty in the afternoon and evenings. However, erratic gusty outflow winds of 30 to 65 mph may accompany stronger thunderstorms.

* THUNDERSTORMS...The strongest thunderstorms are anticipated to develop Sunday evening through Monday morning. Additional isolated to scattered dry thunderstorms are forecast to develop over land from early Sunday to late Monday. Weaker isolated storms are possible off the coast as early as Saturday. Dry thunderstorms may become wet as the event progresses,

* IMPACTS...Lightning will likely spark new fires across the region, including remote areas. Wildfires in remote regions may not become apparent until warmer and drier conditions allow them to grow. Erratic gusty outflow winds may result in dangerous and unpredictable fire behavior. Please report potential fires by calling 9-1-1.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Residents should maintain an awareness of conditions in the surrounding areas.  Ensure you are signed up for the Community Warning System (CWS) by going to www.cwsalerts.com.
