A cold front that moved into Washington Saturday brought breezy and windy conditions with it, increasing the danger of wildfires burning in the state. The gusty winds of up to 50 miles per hour in some locations prompted the National Weather Service to issue a red flag warning for a large portion of central and eastern Washington. Peak wind gusts in some locations were recorded as high as 37 mph in Yakima and 51 in Ellensburg. The NWS also called the conditions on Saturday a "Particularly Dangerous Situation." Drought conditions, along with winds and hot temperatures, prompted Governor Bob Ferguson to declare a statewide wildfire emergency.
