...RED FLAG WARNINGS FOR FAR NORTHWEST AND PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA TODAY... .There are two separate areas of critical fire weather conditions expected late this morning through this evening. One includes the James River Valley and adjacent areas to the west, and the other is in far northwest North Dakota. Both of these areas are expected to see similar conditions, with northwest winds around 25 to 30 mph gusting to 40 mph and relative humidity as low as 20 percent. There are slight timing differences between the two areas, with the James River Valley segment being a late morning to early evening threat, and the far northwest segment being an early afternoon to late evening threat. In addition, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms could develop late this afternoon and evening and produce erratic and stronger wind gusts. * WINDS...Northwest around 25 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 20 percent. * AFFECTED AREA...Parts of south central North Dakota, including the James River Valley. * IMPACTS...Any fires that ignite will spread rapidly and become difficult to control or suppress.

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.
