Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches for enhanced wildfire danger have been issued by the National Weather Service for areas in California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.
Dry lightning and strong winds are in the forecast for Northern California, the Bay Area hills & the Sierras.
On the map above it is unusual to see a small part of Utah’s southwest corner marked as a Fire Weather Watch area. The weather forecasters in Utah rarely forecast Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches, even when their neighboring states do so right up to the imaginary line separating the two.
