The wider storm

A Red Flag Warning was issued for fire weather zones 624 and 625, which include most of Klamath and Lake counties, for expected winds of 20 to 25 mph with higher gusts. Later in the morning it became apparent that the stronger winds would be in zone 625, so the warning was cancelled for zone 624. Observed winds wound up being lighter than expected, with most stations reporting maximum sustained winds in the 15 to 20 mph range and a few gusts in the 20 to 25 mph range.
