Critical Fire Weather Conditions Today
Gusty Winds Today
Cold Front Timing Today
Behind all the activity Thursday looks to be another widespread chance at widespread critical fire weather. Currently a new system is expected to force westerly to southwesterly winds to push across the area at 25 to 35 mph with gusts upwards of 40 to 50 mph. These conditions will also be later accompanied by a cold frontal passage that evening, which will see winds shift to a more northerly direction.

Southwesterly winds of 25-35 mph with gusts to 50 mph at times are expected, especially for the central and western combined Panhandles. Combined with low RH values, critical fire weather conditions are expected today across most of the Panhandles.

While there is still some uncertainty on the exact timing, the latest forecast continues to see tomorrow's cold front move around the early evening and slowly make its way into the Southern Panhandles by midnight. Fortunately, lighter winds following the front are anticipated, which should help mitigate the fire weather conditions overnight.
