Fire Weather Warning
Statement as of 2:08 PM MDT on July 9, 2009


... Red flag warning remains in effect until 9 PM MDT this
evening...

A red flag warning remains in effect until 2100 this evening for
fire zones 201 and 203 for low humidities... gusty winds... and
Haines index of 6.

Southwest winds ranging from 10 to 20 mph with some gusts to 30
mph will continue this afternoon across zones 201 and 203...
subsiding around sunset. Above normal temperatures will cause
humidity levels to fall below 15 percent during the heat of the
day before gradually recovering in the evening. Therefore... the
red flag warning will remain in effect until 2100.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds... low relative humidity... and warm temperatures will
create explosive fire growth potential.
