Alert

Advisory: Big weather changes are coming to the region. RED FLAG Style winds with upcoming storms starting tomorrow evening.

<p>The National Weather Service is predicting some severe weather to hit our area beginning tomorrow night.&nbsp; Please be prepared for strong winds that have the potential for a red flag event preceding any moisture.<br />
With the dry fuels still on the ground we are urging caution with any warming style fires in your yards.&nbsp; The winds will have the potential to push any embers into dry vegetation. Similar wind driven fire events were seen in Reno a few years ago burning numerous structures.<br />
There is still a burn ban in effect until significant moisture ends fire season per CALFIRE.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

Instructions:

No outside burning for the next several days due to wind.
