Red Flag Warning

Forecast: For the remainder of Monday night, all of Tuesday and part of Wednesday we are likely to have a strong chance of thunderstorms moving through the area. One storm has already produced some light precipitation. Temperatures overnight will be in the mid-upper 60's to low 70's after we had a day time high of 96ºF. Highs Tuesday-Thursday will be in the upper 70's. Friday through the weekend we will slowly warm back to the low 80's for the daily high temperatures.

Red Flag Warning has been issued for Western Washington including the Puget Sound Lowlands through Tuesday night at 11 PM. Red Flag warnings means that critical fire weather conditions are either imminent or occurring. The combination of dry air near the surface, moderate-strong possible winds and lightning are the perfect recipe for a wild fire.
