Above-average temperatures between 98-102 degrees and afternoon RH values of 25-35% will create a favorable setup for fire starts this afternoon, primarily west of the I-35 corridor. South winds at 10-15 mph with occasional gusts to 20 mph will also raise the potential for fire spread this afternoon and early evening. Some low-level cloud cover will be present in the early morning hours across Central Texas, however skies will become mostly sunny by late morning. Temperatures will drop into the low 90s and relative humidity will rebound into the 40-50% range by late evening, reducing the fire threat. Extreme care is urged during all outside activities where there is a potential for grass fires to get started. Avoid outside burning and welding. Do not toss lit cigarette butts outside. Report wildfires to the nearest fire department or law enforcement office quickly. $$
