A Red Flag Warning will be issued to warn the user of an impending or on-going Red Flag event.  A Red Flag Warning will be issued immediately when Red Flag conditions are occurring.  Otherwise, it will be issued for impending Red Flag Conditions when there is a high degree of confidence that conditions will develop and the forecast time of onset for the event is less than 24 hours from the forecast issuance time.
