Most of Humboldt County will be under a fire weather watch Sunday evening through Monday evening due to scattered thunderstorms while some interior areas will be under a red flag warning.

According to the Eureka office of the National Weather Service, the gusty storms will cause current fires to “behave erratically” and any fires that may develop from lightning strikes would likely spread rapidly.

As of this afternoon, the fire watch and red flag warning will be in effective from 11 p.m. Sunday to 11 p.m. Monday.
