No impact in 8 other categories: Severe Thunderstorm Risk, Tornado Risk, Grassland Fire Danger Index (GFDI), Extreme Heat Risk, Hail Risk, Frost/Freeze Risk, Fog Risk, Thunderstorm Wind Risk

Friday: Lightning Risk

1: Limited

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning expected.

Determining Risk

We base this risk on local weather office thunderstorm forecasts.

Risk Map

Risk Levels

Lightning Risk
risk level name risk level description
1:Limited
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning expected.
2:Elevated
Numerous thunderstorms with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning expected.
3:Significant
Widespread thunderstorms with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning expected.

Friday: Fire Weather Risk

1: Limited

Low humidity and breezy conditions will result in an increased danger of fires getting out of control.

Determining Risk

We base this risk on local weather office forecasts of combined relative humidity, winds, and wind gusts.

Risk Map

Risk Levels

Fire Weather Risk
risk level name risk level description
1:Limited
Low humidity and breezy conditions will result in an increased danger of fires getting out of control.
2:Elevated
Low humidity and windy conditions will create dangerous fire conditions. Fires can escape control more easily and be difficult to contain.
3:Significant
High winds and extended dry periods will produce extreme burning conditions. Open fires can quickly escape and are very difficult to control, even for experienced fire fighters.
4:Extreme
Very strong winds, combined with low humidity, will create extremely volatile conditions. Fires will spread very quickly with spot fires common. Fire control will be extremely difficult.

Sunday: Excessive Rainfall Risk

2: Elevated

Scattered flash floods possible, some potentially significant. Most vulnerable are urban areas, roads, small streams, and washes.

Determining Risk

We base this risk on the excessive rainfall outlook from the Weather Prediction Center. You can learn more about excessive rainfall on their website.

Risk Map

Risk Levels

Excessive Rainfall Risk
risk level name risk level description
1:Limited
Isolated flash floods possible. Most flooding will be localized to areas that can experience rapid runoff with heavy rainfall.
2:Elevated
Scattered flash floods possible, some potentially significant. Most vulnerable are urban areas, roads, small streams, and washes.
3:Significant
Numerous flash floods including some significant events likely. Many streams may flood, affecting nearby residential and urban areas.
4:Extreme
Widespread, severe flash floods expected. Events could occur in areas that don't normally flood. Lives and property in greater danger.

Monday: Wind Risk

1: Limited

Breezy conditions could blow around unsecured items and result in hazardous driving conditions for high-profile vehicles.

Determining Risk

We base this risk on local weather office wind speed/gust forecasts.
