...EXTREME FIRE DANGER CONTINUES... ...AVOID ANY ACTIVITIES THAT COULD CAUSE A WILDFIRE!... .A strong Pacific cold front will move across South Central Texas this morning. Very strong winds and dry air will spread across the region behind the front today. Today's overlap of very strong winds, low RH, fuel dryness, and above normal fuel loading in some areas, are producing a very dangerous to potentially historic fire weather setup. Numerous fires and erratic fire behavior have already been reported. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph are ongoing along the I-35 corridor and west to the Rio Grande by early afternoon, with gusts of 45 to 50 mph, potentially exceeding 55 mph over parts of the southern Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains. Across the Coastal Plains, sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph are ongoing. RH values are forecast to bottom out around 5 to 15%. An extreme fire danger is forecast by the Texas A&M Forest Service. After sunset winds will decrease and humidity will recover, gradually reducing the fire weather threat. * AFFECTED AREA...All of South Central Texas. * TIMING...Until 9 PM CST this evening. * WINDS...West 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 45 to 60 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 5 to 15 percent. * TEMPERATURES...75 to 85. * LIGHTNING...None expected. * IMPACTS...Any fires that develop today will rapidly increase in size and intensity, will move quickly, and be very difficult to impossible control.
