that will brush extreme northwest Utah on Wednesday. Southwest
winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph can be expected across
much of the warning area. In addition to the winds... relative
humidities will be below 15 percent. The combination of strong
winds and low relative humidities will result in severe fire
weather conditions where fuels are critically dry.
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.
