Eastern Portion of Shasta/Trinity NF; Burney Basin and Northeast Plateau in Shasta County Including Northwest Lassen NF north of Lassen NP; Southeast Edge Shasta/Trinity NF and Western Portions of Tehama/Glenn RU; Northern Sierra Foothills from 1000 to 3000 Ft. Includes Nevada-Yuba-Placer RU and Anador-Eldorado RU; Northern Sierra Including Lassen NP and Plumas and Lassen NF/S West of the Sierra Crest - West of Evans Peak/Grizzly Peak/Beckworth Peak; Eastern Mendocino NF

Note

Description

* Affected Area...Fire Zone 213 Eastern Portion of Shasta/Trinity NF, Fire Zone 214 Burney Basin and Northeast Plateau in Shasta County Including Northwest Lassen NF north of Lassen NP, Fire Zone 263 Southeast Edge Shasta-Trinity NF and Western Portions of Tehama-Glenn Unit, Fire Zone 266 Northern Sierra Foothills from 1000 to 3000 Ft. Includes portions of Shasta-Trinity and Butte Units, Fire Zone 268 Northern Sierra Including Lassen NP and Plumas and Lassen NF/S West of the Sierra Crest (West of Evans Peak-Grizzly Peak- Beckworth Peak) and Fire Zone 279 Eastern Mendocino NF. * Thunderstorms...Isolated to scattered coverage of a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms expected. Lightning strikes may also occur outside of main precipitation cores. Highest chances for thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours. * Outflow Winds...Gusty and erratic outflow winds could occur near any thunderstorm development. * Impacts...Lightning can create new fire starts and may combine with gusty outflow winds to cause a fire to rapidly grow in size and intensity. *

Instruction

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of lightning from dry thunderstorms on dry fuels can contribute to new fire starts.

Areas

Southern Humboldt Interior; Southern Trinity

Note

Description

At 512 PM PDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm 5 miles east of Alderpoint, or 16 miles east of Garberville, moving northwest at 20 mph. HAZARD...Wind gusts up to 30 mph. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Locations impacted include... Alderpoint, Zenia, Fort Seward and Blocksburg.

Areas

Lower Middle Klamath; Hoopa; Van Duzen/Mad River; W Mendocino NF/E Mendocino Unit; Trinity

Note

Description

...SCATTERED DRY LIGHTNING IS LIKELY MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE INTERIOR MOUNTAINS... .A pulse of moisture moving up the Central Valley combined with very hot and dry surface conditions and moderate easterly winds will combine to create scattered dry thunderstorms over the interior mountains. Any storms that do form will likely produce wetting rain in the cores but lightning is possible far from these cores in areas that will remain dry. Storms Monday are most likely over Northern Trinity and Interior Humboldt with moderate movement towards the coast. Storms Tuesday will be more stationary and are most likely to form over Trinity, Northern Mendocino and possibly Del Norte. The National Weather Service in Eureka has issued a Red Flag Warning, which is in effect from 11 AM to 11 PM PDT Tuesday. The Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect. * 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.

Instruction

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
