with a very low end chance (<30%) that some some storms may become
severe, mainly along out southern border with New Mexico. The most

hail, and winds gusting to 45 mph. Strong to severe storms may be
possible across the eastern plains on Saturday as well.
For Friday and Saturday, high fire danger will be possible across

critical fire weather conditions will be possible for most zones in
