BAY AREA, CA — National Weather Service officials have issued a red flag warning for much of the Bay Area this week.
The red flag warning covers the North Bay mountains, East Bay hills and valleys, Santa Cruz Mountains and San Mateo County coastline. It's slated to begin 10 p.m. Wednesday and run through 8 a.m. Friday, though it will begin at 1 a.m. Thursday for the Santa Cruz Mountains and San Mateo coast.
"The continuation of gusty, dry offshore winds and low humidity, in combination with very dry fuels, will result in an increased risk of new wildfire starts and rapid wildfire spread," NWS wrote.
