Red Flag Warning In Effect For North Bay Hills
Due to warm and dry conditions, a red flag warning is in effect for the North Bay hills until 5 p.m. Wednesday.
MARIN COUNTY, CA – A red flag warning is in effect for the North Bay hills until Wednesday evening.
Warm and dry conditions with warm, gusty winds and low humidities will combine to create extreme fire growth potential, contributing to wildfire conditions that firefighting resources may be unable to control, according to the National Weather Service.
The Marin Municipal Water District's watershed gates have been closed since Saturday due to the red flag warning. Originally slated to end Tuesday morning, the warning has been extended until 5 p.m. Wednesday, according to the NWS. Watershed gates will remain closed until the warning is lifted.
