Winds will be from the Southwest 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph.
Relative Humidity will be as low as 9 percent in spots.
Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly and become very difficult to control. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
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 can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
Also, a Wind Advisory is in effect from 1 p.m. this afternoon to 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Southwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph are expected.
Gusty winds could blow around light weight unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.
Winds will create areas of blowing dust, which will likely cause visibility reductions at times.
Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.
