...RED FLAG WARNING IS CANCELLED...

The National Weather Service in Eureka has cancelled the Red Flag
Warning. 

Relative humidity values have remained higher than expected
overnight. Even humidity levels at the highest elevation have
increased over the past couple of hours. In addition, winds have
remained generally light. There is still a chance that humidity
levels will drop along the highest ridgetops and coincide with
brief winds above 20 mph. However, the duration and areal coverage
does not warrant a Red Flag Warning.
