What is a "Red Flag Warning?"
A Red Flag Warning means increased fire danger and the high possibility of a quickly spreading fire in the area within 24 hours. The National Weather Service watches several factors which may include: lower than normal humidity permitting easier ignition and spreading, as well as potentially strong, dry winds that may cause the fire to move faster.
