The red flag warning is in effect until 8 PM PDT this evening
for scattered thunderstorms with insufficient moisture
across zone 624.

Low pressure will move across Oregon this afternoon with scattered
thunderstorms developing. The combination of scattered
lightning... dry fuels... and insufficient rainfall may lead to
numerous new fire starts.

In addition to the lightning potential... southwest winds will
increase to 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 to 40 mph. The winds
will shift west and decrease through evening.

Monday and Tuesday and offshore flow with a dry and warming trend
develops that could make any fire starts on Sunday more
problematic.

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.
