Fire Weather Warning


... Red flag warning in effect from 11 am to 6 PM CST Tuesday...

Southerly winds will return to North Texas tonight and increase
quickly on Tuesday. Wind speeds will range from 15 to 25 mph with
gusts to 35 mph from late morning Tuesday through the afternoon.
Relative humidities will also fall below 30 percent on Tuesday.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will over the next 24 hours. A
combination of strong winds... low relative humidity... and dry
vegetation will create explosive fire growth potential. Avoid all
outside burning and welding today. Do not toss lit cigarette Butts
outside. Report wild fires to the nearest Fire Department or law
enforcement office.
