Near-Critical fire conditions are expected today for all of South Central Texas. North winds of 10-20 mph, combined with RH values between 10-30 percent will result in these high fire danger conditions.
Tonight: Expect warm overnight lows in the mid to upper 50s to near 60 in some areas. Southerly winds will become lighter overnight and clouds will begin increasing towards sunrise for areas along and east of the I-35 Corridor and over the Coastal Plains.
A Red Flag Warning has been issued for the Hill Country, Southern Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains from 11 AM to 7 PM Thursday. Breezy northerly winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph and humidity values as low as 13% will produce critical fire conditions across the area. Avoid open flames, keep vehicles off dry grass, use grills on pavement, properly discard cigarettes and remember to obey burn bans!
