... Red flag warning in effect from noon today to 6 PM CST this
afternoon...
The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio has issued a
red flag warning... which is in effect from noon today to 6 PM CST
this afternoon.
Wind speeds of 15 to 25 mph are expected to accompany very low
dew point temperatures in the upper teens and 20s... resulting in
several hours of relative humidity values in the middle teens and
lower 20s during the warmest part of the day. Diminishing winds
and rising humidities should occur by 6 PM... but dry air is
expected to remain in place through at least early Tuesday.
A red flag warning means weather conditions will promote fires
that are difficult to control across the warned area. A red flag
warning is completely separate from a local burn ban which is
issued by local officials.
