PDT THURSDAY FOR LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS FOR FIRE
WEATHER ZONES 655 AND 659...

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a Red Flag
Warning for lightning and gusty outflow winds which is in effect
from 4 PM PDT this afternoon to 2 PM PDT Thursday. The Fire
Weather Watch is no longer in effect.

* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 655 Black Hills and

* LIGHTNING...Isolated thunderstorm coverage is possible across
  the southern Cascade Mountains and portions of southwest
  Washington. Thunderstorms will develop late Wednesday night and
  move from south to north across the area.

* OUTFLOW WINDS...Any storms that develop will be capable of
  gusty and erratic outflow winds between 25 and 30 miles per
  hour. Outflow winds can occur ahead of and behind storms and
  cause erratic wind directions.

* TEMPERATURES...High temperatures this afternoon in the 90s. Low
  temperatures Thursday morning in the upper 50s to mid 60s.

* TIMING...4 PM PDT this afternoon to 2 PM PDT Thursday
  afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Lightning in dry fuels can cause multiple fire
  starts. Thunderstorms can also bring sudden sharp wind shifts on
  existing fires, causing rapid changes in a fire`s rate of
  spread and direction of spread. Thunderstorm outflow winds can
  be a threat for several hours following the start of a new
  lightning-caused fire. If a fire were to begin, air quality may
  diminish in the surrounding area.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either imminent or occurring now. Any fires that develop will
likely spread quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
