low pressure moving into our region today will be bringing strong winds as it approaches. Winds will gust near 50mph in the Shasta Valley beginning early this afternoon. East of the Cascades gusts up to 45mph are likely. Because these strong winds will raise fire weather concerns for existing fires and the dry conditions elsewhere, fire weather warnings are in effect through 9pm tonight. These warnings include the Shasta Valley, Modoc County and the Klamath Basin.

This means Hwys. 5,97,395 and more.
