Gusty Winds and Low Humidity Trigger Red Flag Warning Across Region
16 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Red flag warning issued for today due to risk of rapid fire spread
- Temperatures in the 50s with mostly sunny skies, but gusty winds up to 45 mph
- Cooler highs in the 40s and 50s expected over the next few days
As of November 16, 2025, a red flag warning has been issued for the region, in effect from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. The combination of gusty winds and very low humidity has created a high risk of rapid fire spread, with the National Weather Service warning that "any fire that develops will catch and spread quickly."
Despite the sunny skies, the weather conditions are not ideal. Temperatures are expected to hover in the 50s to near 60 degrees, but the persistent gusty winds from the northwest, gusting up to 45 mph, will make it feel much cooler. Overnight, temperatures will quickly drop into the 40s, with lows in the low to mid-30s.
Looking ahead, the cooler weather is set to continue. Highs on Monday and Tuesday are forecast to reach only the upper 40s to low 50s, with blustery winds persisting. Showers are expected to arrive on Tuesday afternoon, with more chances of rain through the end of the week as temperatures gradually warm back into the 50s and 60s.
