Red Flag Warning
NWS Medford OR
617 AM Mon Aug 1 2022

…Abundant Lightning On Dry Fuels Expected through Tuesday…

.Heat, instability, and increasing moisture along with multiple
low pressure impulses moving through this afternoon/evening and
again Tuesday are expected to bring isolated to scattered
thunderstorms and abundant lightning on dry fuels to the area.
This afternoon and evening the lightning threat will be greatest
from the Cascades eastward as well as over western Siskiyou,
Josephine and western Jackson Counties. On Tuesday, the lightning
threat will be greatest from the Cascades east, Siskiyous south
and into southwestern Jackson County.

…RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 11 PM PDT
THIS EVENING FOR ABUNDANT LIGHTNING ON DRY FUELS

  • Impacts: Lightning and high fire danger will likely result in new
    fire starts. Gusty thunderstorm winds could contribute to fire
    spread. Despite rainfall, initial attack resources could be
    overwhelmed and holdover fires are possible.

  • Thunderstorms: Isolated to scattered thunderstorms and showers
    will develop this afternoon and evening with the best chance of
    scattered storms with abundant lightning.

  • Rainfall: Today and Tuesday, thunderstorms are expected to be a
    mix of wet and dry, so locally significant wetting rainfall will
    be possible with some of the thunderstorms, especially the
    slower moving ones. Lighting may occur outside of the storm cores
    where there is little or no rainfall.

I was told yesterday from Team 10 that they were sliding over to Happy Camp today. Not sure if they are zoning the fires or running as separate incident. Will edit once confirmed.
