Red flag warning.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Santa Cruz County from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday due to a 20–30 percent chance of thunderstorms.

There is a risk that isolated lightning strikes could ignite fires, while the strongest gusts may produce winds of 40–50 mph. These winds have the potential to spread any fires, bring down tree limbs and cause power outages. Rainfall is expected to remain below 0.15 inches.

Residents should use extra caution and prepare. Report fires immediately by calling 9-1-1. Look up outage information at pge.com/outages. Make sure your family emergency kit is ready.
