...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR OUTFLOW WINDS AND HIGH INSTABILITY... * AFFECTED AREA...In Oregon, Fire Weather Zone 688 Mt. Hood National Forest Region. In Washington, Fire Weather Zone 634 Southern Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Fire Weather Zone 635 Mt. Adams Ranger District of the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest. * THUNDERSTORMS...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms. 20-30% chance of thunderstorms through this evening. 10-15% chance for wetting rains with passing thunderstorms. * UNSTABLE...High instability with elevated mixing heights may promote pyroconvective activity. * OUTFLOW WINDS...Instantaneous gusts as high as 40 mph. Gusts at these speeds can be observed tens of miles away from the core of the thunderstorm. * IMPACTS...Conditions may be favorable for rapid fire spread which may threaten life and property. Thunderstorm outflow winds may result in unanticipated erratic fire spread. High instability may result in fire growth. Frequent lightning and critically dry fuels may result in fire starts.
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of the above conditions can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
