UIL Regional Classification Notes:

Category 2 (West TX / Panhandle): Higher elevation and lower ambient humidity allow for greater evaporative cooling; thresholds trigger earlier.
Category 3 (Central, East, Coastal & South TX including Laredo): Sustained high ambient heat and humidity require modified activity thresholds.
