Gusty winds and low humidities are expected ahead of this front Thursday afternoon, with several areas reaching critical conditions in Lake County and eastern Klamath County. With the fuels in this area in pre-green up and the ongoing lack of precipitation, gusty winds and low humidities will result in fire weather concerns.
