Instruction

Follow all fire restrictions. You can find your county's emergency sign up form as well as links to fire restrictions at weather.gov/medford/wildfire. One less spark, one less wildfire. Be sure you're signed up for your county's emergency alert system. Familiarize yourself with your emergency plan and make sure you listen to emergency services. Visit ready.gov/plan for more information. A Red Flag Warning is issued when we identify weather conditions that promote rapid spread of fire which may become life- threatening. This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions are either occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to have multiple ways to receive information from authorities.

Description

...SCATTERED DRY LIGHTNING IS LIKELY TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR MOUNTAINS... .A pulse of moisture moving up the Central Valley combined with very hot and dry surface conditions helped produce scattered dry lightning Monday. Scattered thunderstorms will redevelop Tuesday afternoon. These storms will be slower moving to stationary and are most likely to form over Trinity, Northern Mendocino and possibly Del Norte. Storms may also originate in northern Lake County. * THUNDERSTORMS...Scattered dry thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon mostly over high terrain. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire weather zones 204, 211, 212, 277, and 283. * OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusty and erratic outflow winds are possible up to 50 mph. * IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
