LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for much of Northern California, including Lake County, due to hot weather conditions that are conducive to fire.

The agency said the warning is in effect from 11 p.m. Saturday through 5 p.m. Sunday.

The National Weather Service said a red flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now or will shortly.

Fire conditions include a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures that can contribute to extreme fire behavior.

A heat advisory for the mountain areas of northern Lake County also is in effect, extending until 8 p.m. Sunday, the National Weather Service said.

Weather conditions this weekend are the result of a high pressure system building into the Pacific Northwest that will cause breezy conditions to develop over portions of the Coastal Ranges, according to the agency’s report.

Forecasters said those winds, ranging from 6 to 12 miles per hour with gusts of 20 miles per hour, are expected to cause humidity levels to drop overnight into Sunday. The winds should diminish late Sunday, allowing humidity to improve.

Sunday’s temperatures are expected to range between the low 90s in parts of the county to just over the century mark in the south county during the daytime, dropping at night to between the high 50s and low 60s, forecasters said.
