Red Flag Warning

High Winds, Low Humidity

POMEROY / PULLMAN, WA – A Red Flag Warning is out for northern Garfield County, Whitman County, and much of eastern Washington.

The National Weather Service expects the winds to increase to 15 to 30 miles per hour this afternoon with gusts up to 35 miles per hour.  At the same time, humidity will drop to 15 to 25 percent.  The two conditions combine create conditions that are prime for the rapid spread of wildfire. 

The Red Flag Warning lasts from 2:00 pm until 9:00 this evening.
