"Red Flag Warning" and "Fire Weather Watch" are terms used by fire-weather forecasters, to call attention to weather conditions of particular importance that may result in extreme burning conditions. A Fire Weather Watch may be issued prior to the Red Flag Warning. The criteria for red flag events requires the combination of high to extreme fire danger and a critical fire weather pattern such as: low relative humidity, very dry and unstable air, and very strong/ shifting winds.
