...BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY TUESDAY...

.A weather system will bring breezy westerly winds through the
Cascade gaps Tuesday afternoon and evening. Coupled with low
relative humidity, this will lead to critical fire weather
conditions, especially across the Lower Columbia Basin of Oregon.

The National Weather Service in Pendleton has issued a Red Flag
Warning for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect
from noon to 10 PM PDT Tuesday.

* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 703 Warm Springs Reservation.

* TIMING...From noon to 10 PM PDT Tuesday.

* WINDS...Northwest 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 18 percent.

* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread
quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

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 can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
