The National Weather Service in Medford has extended the Red Flag Warning which is in effect today from 2:00 PM - 8:00 PM to also include a second Red Flag Warning for Monday, August 24, 2020, from 2:00 AM - 11:00 PM.
Gusty winds and low humidity are expected this afternoon and evening east of the Cascades and in Northeast California with Haines 6 over the Crane wildfire.
No thunderstorms are expected today, but chances increase late tonight into Tuesday as the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Genevieve move northward into the area.
