Warnings and Notices

	Fire Weather Warning
Statement as of 2:08 PM MDT on July 09, 2009 ... Red flag warning remains in effect until 9 PM MDT this evening... A red flag warning remains in effect until 2100 this evening for fire zones 201 and 203 for low humidities... gusty winds... and Haines index of 6. Southwest winds ranging from 10 to 20 mph with some gusts to 30 mph will continue this afternoon across zones 201 and 203... subsiding around sunset. Above normal temperatures will cause humidity levels to fall below 15 percent during the heat of the day before gradually recovering in the evening. Therefore... the red flag warning will remain in effect until 2100. Precautionary/preparedness actions... 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.
