...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 11 AM
PDT SUNDAY FOR Monterey and San Benito Counties for Dry Lightning...

The National Weather Service in San Francisco has issued a Red 
Flag Warning...WHICH IS IN EFFECT from 4 PM this afternoon to 11 
AM PDT Sunday. The Fire Weather Watch IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. 

* AFFECTED AREA...Monterey and San Benito County including the Los
  Padres National Forest Monterey Ranger District, San
  Benito/Monterey Unit of CalFire and the BLM lands of Monterey
  and San Benito County.

* THUNDERSTORMS...Thunderstorms are currently over San Luis Obispo
  county and will move into the Central Valley though a few cells
  could impact southern Monterey County this afternoon. More
  thunderstorms are forecast to develop this evening and
  overnight. Any storms that develop will likely product abundant
  lightning over receptive fuel beds due to the current heat wave.
  The storms may be a mix of wet and dry but the speed and amount
  of lightning will likely produce new fire starts.

* WIND...Light wind except for breezy onshore winds in the
  afternoon near the coast. Locally gusty winds possible near any
  thunderstorms.

* HUMIDITY...Minimum humidity mid 10s to mid 20s percent across 
  the higher elevations and interior & 30 to 50 percent 
  nearshore and lower elevation for today. Recoveries Saturday 
  night in the 30s to 50s across the interior and 60s to 90s 
  alongshore.

* IMPACTS...Increase in wildfire starts in proximity to
  thunderstorms due to lightning. Fires may spread rapidly due to
  dry fuels and, if nearshore, breezy onshore winds.

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 can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
