High fire danger in Cascades prompts red flag warning
DARRINGTON — The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning Friday in the western Cascades, including parts of Snohomish County, due to high fire danger.
Warm temperatures and low humidity led to “critical fire weather conditions,” the weather service wrote in a memo.
“In western Washington significant growth on existing fires takes place under such conditions,” the memo said.
The red flag warning applied to areas above 1,500 feet in the west and central Cascades. It remained in effect until 11 p.m. Friday.
