Instructions
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 will create favorable weather for rapid fire growth and spread. Avoid activities that promote open flames and sparks.
A Fire Weather Watch means that the potential for critical fire weather conditions exists. These conditions could promote the rapid spread of wildfires which could become life-threatening. Check www.weather.gov/jan/fireweather for forecast updates and a possible upgrade of this watch to a Red Flag Warning.
