Red Flag Warning

...Complex fire weather environment evolves this weekend...

.Hot, dry and windy conditions will remain in place over most of
Oregon today, and approaching monsoon moisture from the south
will increase the threat of lightning across the forecast area
beginning today and even more so on Sunday. Storms will likely be
dry today given a very dry sub-cloud layer. The threat for storms
is higher on Sunday as the moisture content increases and storms
become a mix of wet and dry.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Red Flag Warning is issued when we identify weather conditions
that promote rapid spread of fire which may become life-
threatening. This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions
are either occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to
have multiple ways to receive information from authorities.

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are possible during the valid watch time. These conditions could
promote the rapid spread of wildfires which could become life-
threatening. Check weather.gov/medford for forecast updates and a
possible upgrade of the this watch to a Red Flag Warning.

Follow all fire restrictions. You can find your county`s
emergency sign up form as well as links to fire restrictions at
weather.gov/medford/wildfire. One less spark, one less wildfire.

Be sure you`re signed up for your county`s emergency alert
system. Familiarize yourself with your emergency plan and make
sure you listen to emergency services. Visit ready.gov/plan for
more information.
