Fire Weather Warning
Statement as of 10:47 PM PDT on September 4, 2008

... Red flag warning remains in effect until 11 am PDT Saturday for
strong winds and low relative humidity for fire weather zones 618
619 620 621 in southern Oregon and 280 in northwestern Siskiyou
County of California...

A red flag warning remains in effect until 11 am PDT Saturday for
strong winds and low relative humidity for fire weather zones 618
619 620 621 in southern Oregon and 280 in northwestern Siskiyou
County of California.

A strong thermal trough along the coast will produce windy
conditions and poor humidity recoveries on the ridges of extreme
southwestern Oregon and northwestern Siskiyou County in northern
California through Saturday morning. Humidities will remain very
low through the day.

Northeast winds of 10 to 25 mph will continue over the ridges
through Saturday morning with poor overnight humidity recoveries
of 20 to 35 percent. Minimum daytime humidities inland will be
10 to 30 percent... with the lowest readings in the valleys of
western Siskiyou County.

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 explosive fire growth potential.
