Saturday: Excessive Rainfall Risk

1: Limited

Isolated flash floods possible. Most flooding will be localized to areas that can experience rapid runoff with heavy rainfall.

Determining Risk

We base this risk on the excessive rainfall outlook from the Weather Prediction Center. You can learn more about excessive rainfall on their website.

Fire Weather Risk

risk level name	risk level description
1:Limited	Low humidity and breezy conditions will result in an increased danger of fires getting out of control.
2:Elevated	Low humidity and windy conditions will create dangerous fire conditions. Fires can escape control more easily and be difficult to contain.
3:Significant	High winds and extended dry periods will produce extreme burning conditions. Open fires can quickly escape and are very difficult to control, even for experienced fire fighters.
4:Extreme	Very strong winds, combined with low humidity, will create extremely volatile conditions. Fires will spread very quickly with spot fires common. Fire control will be extremely difficult.
