Fire Weather Warning
Statement as of 4:01 am PDT on May 13, 2008


... Red flag warning in effect from 8 am this morning to 6 PM PDT
this afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Las Vegas has issued a red flag
warning... which is in effect from 8 am this morning to 6 PM PDT
this afternoon for the Clark and southwest Lincoln County deserts
and the Spring Mountains and Sheep Range for gusty winds and low
relative humidity.

Strong northerly winds are expected today behind a cold front.
Sustained winds between 20 and 30 mph are expected with gusts
approaching 40 mph. Drier air will also move in behind the front
with relative humidity values below 15 percent much of the day.

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