Apparently the National Weather Service forecasters who designate Red Flag Warning areas have not been furloughed like many federal firefighters were.
Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches for enhanced wildfire danger have been issued by the National Weather Service for areas in California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. Click the map above to see a larger version.
The Red Flag Warning map was current as of 10:28 a.m. MDT on Wednesday. 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.
