A Red Flag Warning, effective at the above times, was issued for the ridges of Fire Weather zones 620/621/623. This included all ridges in Josephine county, the western, southern, and eastern edges of Jackson county, far western Klamath county, and a very small portion of southeast Douglas county. Very dry conditions were expected with significant winds. The Squaw Peak RAWS came closest to verifying the warning, but didn't quite make it. No other RAWS in the area approached warning criteria.
