...FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND HIGH VALLEYS... ...PROLONGED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY... A warm and dry airmass will coincide with considerably stronger west and southwest winds this weekend, potentially continuing into early next week. Sustained winds are expected to exceed 20 to 30 mph across much of the high country beginning Saturday, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph, strongest for exposed areas and higher elevations. These conditions will drive very high fire danger across the warned area, that may extend through the evening hours of Saturday driven by the enhanced winds. Any new starts or established fires will likely spread rapidly under these conditions. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 211, 212, 213, 214, 217 and 218. * TIMING...From Saturday morning through Saturday evening. * WINDS...Southwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...11 to 15 percent. * IMPACTS...Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread. Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a spark and start a wildfire.
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible Red Flag Warnings.
