The previous Red Flag Warning due to expire at 8 AM this morning has been cancelled, while the Fire Weather Watch for this afternoon was upgraded. * Changes...Ended the overnight Red Flag Warning that was due to expire at 8AM and upgraded the Fire Weather Watch for this afternoon to a Red Flag Warning for additional fast moving thunderstorms. * Affected Area...Fire Zone 270 Surprise Valley California, Fire Zone 278 Eastern Lassen County and Fire Zone 458 Northern Washoe County. * Thunderstorms...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms with little, or limited, rainfall. * Impacts...Lightning can create new fire starts and may combine with strong outflow winds to cause a fire to rapidly grow in size and intensity before first responders can contain them. * Additional Information...Storms may be a hybrid of wet and dry, but the faster storm motions will likely allow for lightning strikes outside of the main thunderstorm cores. With resources already stretched thin, any new fire starts will be an issue. * Outflow Winds...40 to 50 mph wind gusts are possible. Avoid outdoor activities that can cause a spark near dry vegetation, such as yard work, target shooting, or campfires. Follow local fire restrictions.
