Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1042 AM CST Sat Dec 28 2024

Valid 281700Z - 291200Z

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected for a few hours this
afternoon across portions of the Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande
Plains in Texas, where sustained northwesterly winds of 15-20 mph
overlap minimum RH values near 15% and at least modestly receptive
fuels. Primary modification with this forecast update was to extend
the Elevated Fire Weather area a bit farther east across the Edwards
Plateau, where the latest guidance suggests fuels are critically
receptive - this area is also in Severe-to-Extreme drought based on
the latest U.S. Drought Monitor. 
 
Please see the previous discussion below for more information on
today's fire weather forecast.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1138 PM CST Fri Dec 27 2024/

...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will exit the Plains today 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 Plains, with increasing
relative humidity. 

Increased northwesterly flow sustained around 15-20 mph (gusting
25-35 mph) will overlap relative-humidity reductions to around 15
percent across portions of far western Texas. Elevated fire weather
concerns are expected across parts of the Texas Hill Country near
the Rio Grande. Though 100-hour fuels remain around the 50-70th
percentile, fine fuels and freeze cured grasses may support fire
spread given potential for stronger winds.
