FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Eureka CA
324 PM PDT Thu Jul 4 2024

...HOT TEMPERATURES AND EXTREMELY LOW RH WILL INCREASE FIRE
DANGER FOR ALL INTERIOR ZONES THROUGH THE WEEK...

...RED FLAG WARNING FOR ZONE 264 FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

...FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR ZONE 283 SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

.DISCUSSION...The extreme and prolonged heat will continue as
relative humidity values drop to the low teens and single digits.
Recoveries also remain poor. A weak surface low off the coast will
enhance the pressure gradient and westerly winds Friday and
through the weekend, especially in the afternoons. Red Flag
conditions are expected to be more consistently met through this
period. Recoveries will improve next week.
