This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the South Plains, Rolling
Plains, and the far Southern Texas Panhandle.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Critical to extremely critical fire weather conditions are expected
this afternoon across the Caprock and western Rolling Plains. A Red
Flag Warning is in effect for this area from noon through 9 PM this
evening. A Fire Danger Statement is in effect from 2 PM through 9 PM
this evening for the eastern Rolling Plains.

There is a slight chance for thunderstorms across the far
southeastern Texas Panhandle this afternoon and evening. Storms that
develop may be severe, with damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph and
large hail up to two inches in diameter possible.

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

Extremely critical fire weather conditions are expected Monday. The
combination of strong winds, very low relative humidity, and
extremely dry fuels will warrant the potential for dangerous growth
and spread of wildfires. A Red Flag Warning is now in effect for the
Caprock, the far southeastern Texas Panhandle, and most of the
Rolling Plains between 11 AM and 10 PM CDT Monday.

Low chances for storms will continue for the eastern Rolling Plains
and southeastern Texas Panhandle during the afternoon and evening
hours Monday. A few storms may be severe.

Additional chances for thunderstorms will arrive for portions of the
region Tuesday and through the end of the week.
