Red Flag Warning this evening through Sunday morning, so far

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for the Entire Bay Area for predicted lighting, which is in effect from 11 PM this evening (Saturday) to 11 AM Sunday. A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are expected during this time frame.

Thunderstorms are forecast to develop over the South Bay and Santa Cruz region before midnight and then spread northward overnight. Not all locations will see thunderstorms, but any lightning strikes will likely lead to new fire starts given the current heat wave.

For any land use restrictions or closures contact the appropriate land management agency:

The National Park Service Point Reyes National Seashore is 415-464-5100
The Mount Tamalpais State Park information number is 415-388-2070.
The Marin Municipal Water District information number is 415-945-1195.
The Marin County Fire Information Hotline number is 415-473-7191.

Residents are advised to exercise extreme caution during the Red Flag Warning because a simple spark could cause a major wildfire, including the use of equipment and machinery as well as smoking. ~posted by Lynn, pointreyesdisastercouncil.org
