Update: Red Flag Warning Issued For The Northern San Joaquin Valley
The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the northern San Joaquin Valley below 1,000 feet, effective from now until 9 AM Sunday morning.
North winds of ten to twenty mph are forecast during this time, with gusts up of thirty to forty mph.
Minimum daytime humidity will range from fifteen to twenty-five percent. Overnight recoveries will range from the mid forties to the mid fifties.
The combination of gusty winds and low humidity can cause fire to rapidly grow in size and intensity. Outdoor burning is not recommended in most of the coverage area.
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. This Red Flag Warning is not in effect for the Mother Lode.
