FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Eureka CA
440 AM PDT Fri Jul 5 2024

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

...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 on the ridges and slightly better in
the valleys. 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 and temperatures are expected to
slowly moderate, especially closer to the coast.
