What a Red Flag Warning means
Warm temperatures, very low humidity and strong wind combine to create critical fire weather: any fire that starts can spread rapidly.
What to do during a Red Flag Warning
Do not burn debris, use spark-producing equipment or throw cigarettes; follow local fire restrictions and be ready to evacuate if a fire starts nearby.
Watch vs warning vs advisory
A watch means the ingredients are in place and the hazard is possible: be prepared. A warning means the hazard is happening, imminent or very likely: act now to protect life and property. An advisory is for less severe conditions that are still a nuisance or risky, and a statement is information that falls below those levels.
The companion product to the Red Flag Warning is the High Wind Warning, with 0 active now.
