This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the Texas and Oklahoma
Panhandles.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Critical fire weather conditions will develop this afternoon and
evening across all of the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles due to
strong southwest winds and low relative humidity values. A Red
Flag Warning is in effect for all of the area from 11 AM this
morning until 10 PM this evening.

In addition, strong southwest winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts
upwards of 60 to 65 mph are likely across all of the Oklahoma and
Texas Panhandles this afternoon and evening. A High Wind Warning
is in effect for all of the area from 11 AM this morning until
10 PM this evening. These strong winds may result in sharply
reduced visibilities at times due to blowing dust.

Isolated thunderstorms may develop this afternoon across the far
eastern sections of the area. If any storms form, they should
remain just below severe levels at this time.

Light snow is expected to develop late tonight across northwest
sections of the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Snowfall accumulations
should generally remain less than one half of an inch, except across
Cimarron and western parts of Texas counties where accumulations
of one half to near one inch will be possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Some light snow will be possible Monday across much of the area.
Additional snowfall accumulations, if any, are expected to remain
near or below one half of an inch at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time.

Area fire managers and emergency officials should be alert for
critical fire weather conditions this afternoon and evening.
