MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION)

The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for the entire San Francisco Bay area and Central Coast.

The Red Flag Warning goes into effect Sunday at 5 a.m. and will remain in place through Monday at 5 p.m.

The National Weather Service says erratic wind and thunderstorms could arrive in areas already dealing with major wildfires.

The NWS warns of dry lightning -- lightning strikes with little moisture -- during this period. Many of the fires ravaging the state were sparked by lightning strikes earlier this month.

With fires continuing to burn throughout our area, many residents are currently displaced due to major evacuations. For the latest on evacuations and where you can get help, click here.
