Description:
...PROLONGED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE
HIGH COUNTRY...
A warm and dry airmass will coincide with considerably stronger
west and southwest winds this weekend, potentially continuing
into early next week. Sustained winds are expected to exceed
20 to 30 mph across much of the high country beginning Saturday,
with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, strongest for exposed areas and
higher elevations. These conditions will drive very high fire
danger across the warned area, that may extend through the
evening hours of Saturday driven by the enhanced winds. Any new
starts or established fires will likely spread rapidly under
these conditions.
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 211, 212, 213, 214, 217 and
218.
* TIMING...From Saturday morning through Saturday evening.
* WINDS...Southwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...11 to 15 percent.
* IMPACTS...Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread.
Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a
spark and start a wildfire.
