...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS...
...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough and associated surface low are poised to eject
into the MS Valley region today, prompting deep-layer westerly flow
across the Southern Plains. Across Far West Texas toward the Rio
Grande, downslope flow will contribute to 25+ mph sustained westerly
surface winds and 15-20 percent RH by afternoon peak heating. The
best chance for Critical conditions will be along the Rio Grande
(per latest high-resolution guidance consensus). Fire weather
highlights have been maintained where both meteorological conditions
and fuel receptiveness best favor rapid wildfire spread.
