...Red Flag Warning Expiring, but Locally Critical Fire Weather
Conditions Linger Tonight...

.While humidity will not be as low as the past couple of nights,
very dry air will remain in place, particularly outside of valley
areas. Winds will be lighter as well, but will remain locally
elevated over exposed mountain slope and ridgetop locations,
especially around Lake County.

...RED FLAG WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 5 PM PDT THIS AFTERNOON...

Stronger winds have diminished across most of the area, and will
be relatively light tonight, particularly in lower slopes and
valley locations, thus the Red Flag is expiring. However, locally
critical conditions will persist over mountainous terrain exposed
to the east-northeast, with some lingering winds of 10 to 18 mph
with gusts 20 to 25 mph over ridgetops, especially around Lake
County, as well as some parts of northeast Mendocino, southern
Trinity, and far eastern Humboldt. This will be combined with 
still poor relative humidity recoveries in the 20s over the higher
elevation terrain tonight.
