* TIMING...For the Red Flag Warning, until midnight AKDT tonight. For the Fire Weather Watch, from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening.

* THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE INDEX...Scattered.

* WINDS...Northeast 5 to 10 mph. Thunderstorm outflow winds could reach 25 to 35 mph.

* HUMIDITY...25 to 35 percent.

* TEMPERATURES...Highs in the upper 70s/low 80s. Lows in the mid 40s.

* IMPACTS...Critical fire weather conditions are expected due to scattered thunderstorms. Thunderstorms will come with frequent lightning and outflow boundaries. Any lightning can cause new ignitions since the fuels are dry and burnable.
