THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN EUREKA HAS ISSUED A RED FLAG
WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM TUESDAY TO 11 PM PDT
WEDNESDAY. 

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY AS AN IMPRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE
REGION.

NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS DURING THE NIGHTTIME AND EARLY MORNING
HOURS WILL AIDE IN BRINGING DRIER AIR ACROSS INTERIOR REGIONS
WHERE FUELS ARE ALREADY CRITICALLY DRY. SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE
10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 35 MPH POSSIBLE OVER RIDGES AND IN
CANYONS. RIDGE TOPS WILL BE MOST VULNERABLE TO THE CRITICAL FIRE
CONDITIONS AS DAYTIME RELATIVE HUMIDITIES DROP TO THE LOW TEENS
AND SINGLE DIGITS. EAST AND NORTHEAST WINDS DURING THE LATE NIGHT
AND EARLY MORNING HOURS WILL PROMOTE EXTREMELY POOR NIGHTTIME RH
RECOVERY...ESPECIALLY ALONG UPPER SLOPES AND RIDGES

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 WILL
CREATE EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL.

WIND SPEEDS AT RIDGE LEVEL...WARRANTS CONTINUATION OF A RED FLAG

SLIGHT VEERING OF WINDS ALONG MIDDLE AND UPPER SLOPES LATE TONIGHT

A FEW CUMULUS BUILD UPS ARE POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON IN
CONJUNCTION WITH PYRO CUMULUS PLUMES OVER THE YOLLA BOLLY

FOR FRIDAY WE ARE CONCERNED WITH A SHORT WAVE RIDGE PASSING OVER
THE AREA WHICH COULD INDUCE EVEN A HOTTER DAY TOMORROW. THEREFOR 
EVEN WITHOUT MUCH WIND...SINGLE DIGIT RH VALUES DURING THE AFTERNOON
COULD VERY WELL OCCUR. THUS THE RED FLAG HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 6

NORTH AND NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE ALONG UPPER SLOPES
AND RIDGES LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING...COMBINED WITH
VERY LOW MINIMUM RH VALUES. DRY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT ABOVE VALLEY ELEVATIONS WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO POOR RH
RECOVERIES FROM MIDDLE SLOPES UP TO THE RIDGE LINES. GOOD TO FAIR
MAXIMUM RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT ALONG INTERIOR VALLEYS IN
THE WARNING AREA.

LATEST MODEL DATA SUGGEST FRIDAY WILL BE HOTTER THAN TODAY DUE TO
AMPLIFICATION OF A SHORT WAVE RIDGE OVER THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON
IN ADVANCE OF AN UPPER LOW MOVING TOWARD THE WESTERN CANADIAN
COASTLINE. THIS IN EFFECT WILL LIKELY CREATE MINIMUM RH VALUES IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WARNING AREA. THIS IS WHY
WE WANT TO RETAIN THE RED FLAG WARNING THROUGH 600 PM FRIDAY.

ARE EITHER OCCURRING NOW...OR WILL SHORTLY. A COMBINATION OF
