Update: Red Flag Warning Dropped for San Diego County; Still in Effect for Parts of Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino Counties

Update: The National Weather Service in San Diego on Wednesday canceled the Red Flag Warning for San Diego county.

The cancellation was made at about 10 a.m., after updated weather information showed winds would not be as high as earlier predicted, a spokesperson told Patch. The warning had originally been in effect for all inland valleys and mountains in the county.

CalFire reported that it brought in an extra air tanker at Ramona Airport for what had been expected to be a 24-hour period of increased fire risk beginning late Wednesday afternoon.

A rapid drop in humidity had been expected, along with warmer temperatures and northeast winds gusting up to 45 to 55 mph in some places, according to the weather service.

"A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly," according to the service.

The warning is still in effect for the Orange county coast, Santa Ana Mountains the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside county valleys) and San Bernardino mountains.

Isolated gusts up to 25 to 35 mph may still happen in Santa Ysabel, Wynola and other eastern portions of San Diego county.
