...Red Flag Warning North and East Bay hills as well as East Bay
interior valleys 11 pm Friday through 6 am Monday for offshore
winds and lowering humidity...

.A moderate early season offshore wind event will develop this
weekend. This will occur as fuels are near record dry levels after
a very dry winter. The initial burst of dry offshore winds will
reach the Napa county hills around 11 pm Friday night and then
spread across the East Bay overnight into early Saturday. These 
winds will usher in much drier air along with wind gusts in excess
of 50 mph above 2000 feet. On Saturday breezy north winds will 
continue as temperatures warm well into the 80s with humidity 
values lowering into the teens and single digits. This pattern 
will help to rapidly dry out the fine fuels through the weekend. 
There may be some moderate humidity recovery Saturday night but 
warm and dry weather persists Sunday with continued dry northerly 
winds and warm temperatures that will allow for rapid fire spread 
on any new ignitions, especially in the grass and dry brush.
