Alerts in force
Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches from the National Weather Service. A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidity and strong wind are expected or occurring together, so a fire that starts will spread quickly. A Fire Weather Watch means those conditions are possible in the next day or two.
None are in force in Idaho right now.
