“Red Flag” Fire Warning is Cancelled
Thanks to SF Gate for letting us know that as of 9:35am on August 24th, the National Weather Service has canceled their “Red Flag Warning” after being mostly spared by thunderstorms passing over Northern California and winds not picking up as much as expected.
The Red Flag Warning was initially scheduled to last until 5pm Monday before being canceled early
A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger.
Please note that this is just the warning for new lightning strikes and the danger of new fires being set. All three fire complexes are still mostly uncontained as of Monday morning.
Check with CalFire for the latest evacuation orders and warnings.
- @CALFIRELNU – North Bay
- @CALFIRECZU – Santa Cruz Mtns
- @calfireSCU – East Bay/South Bay
- @CalfireBEU – Central Coast
We have CANCELLED the Red Flag Warning.
Stay weather aware as weak cells are still over the North Bay; however, most moisture has moved north of our area and instability has decreased giving us confidence to let the warning expire early.#CAwx pic.twitter.com/bG8PKPr6Sn
