National Weather Service issues red flag warning through weekend
The warning is in effect from Friday at 11 a.m. through 5 a.m. Sunday.
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly, the agency said.
Forecasters said temperatures are expected to increase as drying north winds develop across
the region starting Friday.
That combination of gusty winds and low humidity will result in critical fire weather conditions
from Friday into the weekend, the National Weather Service said.
The Lake County forecast calls for temperatures topping out over 100 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, with winds into the mid 20s on Saturday and wind speeds reducing the following day.
