THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA HAS
ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY
EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THE RED FLAG WARNING IS NO LONGER
IN EFFECT.

A SIGNIFICANT TROUGH WILL DIVE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ON SUNDAY

MANY HIGHER ELEVATION LOCATIONS IN THE NORTH AND EAST BAY. BY
EARLY MONDAY THE TROUGH WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST WHICH WILL BRING
GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS TO OUR AREA. ALTHOUGH COOLER TEMPERATURES

WELL OVER 40 MPH IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS WHICH WILL CAUSE A DANGEROUS
FIRE SITUATION DUE TO EXTREMELY HIGH FUEL LEVELS.

THIS FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL LIKELY BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG
WARNING AS THE EVENT GETS CLOSER.
