1213 PM CST Tue Feb 27 2024



Valid 281200Z - 291200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



There continues to be variability in the locations in the vicinity

of the Rio Grande Valley that will see the most favorable overlap of

lowered RH and stronger winds. Further, winds will be strongest in

the morning and will steadily decline into the afternoon. Given

these uncertainties, no highlights will be added. However, locally

elevated conditions are still expected.

...Synopsis...

An upper trough over the Central US is forecast to amplify

significantly as it moves into the northeast Wednesday. Behind the

trough a strong cold front will sweep southeastward ushering in a

much colder air mass over the western and central US. Behind the

front, strong northerly winds are expected over the Plains along

with higher relative humidity, limiting the fire-weather threat. One

exception, may be across parts of south TX and the Rio Grande

Valley. Winds of 20-25 mph may briefly overlap with humidity below

30% over areas of somewhat receptive fuels. However, this is likely

to be brief and widespread fire-weather concerns are not expected.
