    ... Red flag warning remains in effect until 7 PM PDT Monday...

    For the Sacramento Valley... winds will decrease tonight but could
    remain locally gusty along far western portions. This will allow
    for areas of moderate humidity recovery overnight. The wind
    however is forecast to increase again Monday morning. North wind
    of 10 to 25 mph with local gusts up to 35 mph are expected Monday.
    Temperatures will be warmer Monday and daytime humidities again in
    the teens to single digits. The combination of gusty wind and low
    humidity will continue critical fire weather conditions in the
    Sacramento Valley through late Monday afternoon.

    For eastern portions of the Shasta Trinity National Forest... eastern
    slopes of the Mendocino Forest and Lake County mountains... and the
    northern Sierra Nevada foothills... gusty north to northeast wind
    of 10 to 25 mph with gusts 30 to 40 mph will continue tonight into
    Monday. Humidity recoveries tonight will generally be poor and
    daytime humidities Monday will continue in the teens to single
    digits.

    Winds are expected to decrease in most areas by Monday evening
    but remain locally gusty in the foothills through Tuesday morning.

    Please advise the appropriate officials or fire crews in the
    field of this warning.
