Red Flag Warning Today
March 13, 2010
The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a red flag warning for this afternoon.
Breezy and dry westerly winds have allowed for relative humidities to drop below critical levels over the northwest Florida Panhandle. A red flag warning has been issued for the northwest Florida Panhandle for relative humidities at or slightly below 35 percent combined with breezy westerly winds of 15 to 20 mph.
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.
