...Synopsis...
A compact upper-low will move out of the Southwest and into central
Texas today. A strong mid-level jet will emerge across the Texas Big
Bend where a deeply mixed atmosphere is present. 20 to 25 mph
sustained surface winds are expected with relative humidity of 8 to
12 percent. Fuels in the region are very dry with minimal
precipitation in the past 30 days.

Therefore, critical fire weather conditions are expected. A wind
shift will occur during the evening as a cold front moves south into
the region which may lead to erratic fire spread with any ongoing
fires in the region.
