Valid 281200Z - 291200Z
Guidance has trended southwestward with a northwesterly 850 mb jet
across part of the south-central CONUS tomorrow afternoon. This has
led to a trend for increasing wind speeds across parts of the Texas
Hill Country near the Rio Grande. Latest guidance suggests the
potential for gusts to 25-35 mph during the afternoon. In addition,
fuels in this region are modestly dry, with 10-hour fuel moisture
values near the 5th percentile. Given the upward trend in wind
speeds, have elected to introduce a small Elevated area. Otherwise,
the forecast remains on track. See the previous discussion for
further details.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will exit the Plains on D2/Saturday before moving
across the southeastern US. High pressure will build in across the
western US, with heights rising over the Rockies. Cooler
northwesterly flow will filter across the high terrain and into the
Plains, with increasing relative humidity. Some strong northwesterly
breezes will overlap relative-humidity reductions to around 15
percent across portions of far western Texas. Latest fuels guidance
indicates that fuels within this region will not support wildfire
spread, precluding need to include areas at this time.
