One thought on “Red Flag Warnings and smoke distribution, July 22, 2013”

  1. Not being familiar with the US weather and fire behaviour prediction system… I have to ask… how is it that fire behaviour forecasts align precisely with the boundaries of a particular state? As in, Wyoming has a red flag warning but it stops dead at the Colorado and Utah border.
