Rain and Red Flag Warnings are in the weather forecast for different areas of northern California, Washington, and Oregon today. While some portions of northeast California received rain overnight, a Red Flag Warning will be in effect for areas in the far north part of the state along with sections of Oregon and Washington. “Abundant lightning” is the primary reason for the Warning, which will be in effect on Tuesday from 1 p.m. until 11 p.m.
At 5 a.m. PDT Tuesday morning, as you can see in the map below, some areas in California were receiving rain, but at that time it was missing most of the large fires.
The Red Flag Warning map was current as of 6 a.m. MDT on Tuesday. Red Flag Warnings can change throughout the day as the National Weather Service offices around the country update and revise their forecasts. For the most current data visit this NWS site.
