Fire Weather Forecasts and Red Flag Warnings
FreeEducation · Free, from National Weather Service
Free forecasts, fire weather outlooks and red flag warnings. A red flag warning is the weather service saying conditions are right for a fire to start easily and spread fast, which makes it the day to put off burning, grinding, welding or mowing dry grass until it lifts.
The two words to tell apart are watch and warning. A fire weather watch means the conditions are possible but are not here yet and are not certain, and it is issued to give land managers and the public time to get ready. A red flag warning means the critical fire weather is already happening or is about to, and the weather service issues it together with the land management agencies. If you were planning to burn, grind, weld or mow dry grass, a red flag warning is the day to leave it. Where this comes from
