The wider storm

A Red Flag Warning was issued for the southeast portion of fire weather zone 625 (southeast Lake County) for gusty winds and low humidities. A survey of the four RAWS stations in the area indicated that southwest to west winds 15 to 20 mph combined with single digit humidities was widespread between 1400 PDT and 2100 PDT. The winds decreased around 2100 PDT and the humidities recovered to the 50-70% range much later that night. So...it looks like the Red Flag was a good call for a short period of time.
