What is a Red Flag Warning?

According to the International Association of Fire Chiefs:

"A Red Flag Warning is a weather warning issued only by the National Weather Service for a select area. This warning forecasts warm temperatures, low humidity in dried fuel moistures, and strong winds expected within 24 hours. The combination of these increased risks results in an increased risk for a wildland fire or rapid-fire growth if an incident were to occur. During a Red Flag Warning, ALWAYS follow the instructions provided by your local fire department and maintain a heightened awareness of anything that can generate a spark or flame. ALWAYS be prepared to take action if a wildland fire develops in your area."

Here is the area covered by the warning today into Friday:
