This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions are either occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to have multiple ways to receive information from authorities.

* IMPACTS...Given the long stretch of dry and hot conditions, lightning efficiency will be moderate for new fire starts. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. * AFFECTED AREA...Roughly north of Highway 140 including Modoc Point, Beatty and Chiloquin. * THUNDERSTORMS...Scattered overnight thunderstorms across the region. * OUTFLOW WINDS...Gusts up to 45 mph. These outflow winds can travel up to 25 miles away from the thunderstorm that caused it. * ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...Some storms could be dry with gusty outflows. Also, thunderstorms could continue into Thursday night and early Friday morning. Any overnight storms are more likely to produce significantly less precipitation, or be completely dry. * DETAILED URL...View the hazard area in detail at https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=mfr
