ELEVATED FIRE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS

…ELEVATED FIRE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS… South to southwest winds gusting upwards of 25 to 30 mph, minimum relative humidity values around 15 to 20%, above normal temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, and brief periods of sunshine will result in an elevated fire weather threat this afternoon. The main concern will be for dormant fuels where these conditions will align, mainly west of the I-35 corridor. Extreme care is urged during all outside activities where there is a potential for grass fires to get started. Avoid outside burning and welding. Do not toss lit cigarette butts outside. Report wildfires to the nearest fire department or law enforcement office quickly.
