A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now...or are imminent. A combination of lightning...dry fuel conditions...and gusty microburst winds will create favorable conditions for new fire starts and extreme fire behavior.

* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 488 Manti National Forest, Fire Weather Zone 493 Central Utah Mountains and Fire Weather Zone 496 Color Country Mountains. * THUNDERSTORMS...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop after noon today. These storms will be a mix of dry and wet, but exceptionally dry fuels in the area will allow for favorable conditions for lightning ignitions. * OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusty and erratic outflow winds up to 40-50 mph are expected, with a 10 percent chance of exceeding 55 mph. * IMPACTS...Critical fire weather conditions are expected. New fire starts are possible from lightning, and gusty outflow winds in the vicinity of new and existing fires may lead to rapid fire spread.
