The wider storm
A Red Flag Warning was issued this day for fire weather zones 619-625, or for nearly all of southern Oregon from Lake County west...except for the coastal areas. The warning was cancelled at 17:45 PDT for all but zones 624/625, or most of Klamath and Lake counties. These two zones did get thunderstorm activity, and the lightning strikes were likely dry. Another 400 acre fire developed very quickly on this day near Medford, but it was caused by a motorhome engine fire. However, it does serve to illustrate how dry the conditions are, even west of the Cascades.
