Dangerous Fire Weather on Tuesday

After a little bit of rain for some, warmer temperatures return to round out the weekend and start the new week. In fact, Record Temps are forecast to return for Tuesday! In addition, near critical to critical fire weather concerns are expected on Sunday, with additional fire weather concerns Tuesday. More seasonal temperatures are expected by the latter half of next week.

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across the western most parts of the local area Sunday afternoon. A Red Flag warning is in effect for Dawson, Furnas, Gosper, Sherman and Valley counties from Noon to 6 PM CST Sunday. Near critical fire weather conditions are expected across the remainder of the local forecast area. As a result, any outdoor fire that develops will spread quickly and be difficult to control.

Low relative humidity values combined with breezy southwesterly winds will result in near critical to critical fire weather conditions across portions of the area this afternoon. The most critical conditions are expected across Dawson, Furnas, Gosper, Sherman and Valley counties where a Red Flag warning is in effect from noon to 6 PM CST today.

Fire weather conditions will likely be the worst all week on Tuesday afternoon given very warm temperatures, strong SW wind gusts, and very low humidity. Critical conditions may extend well into the evening hours.
