Valid 081700Z - 091200Z



...NO CRITICAL AREAS...



Locally elevated conditions remain likely across portions of

southwest into west-central Texas mostly from just east-northeast of

the Big Bend extending onto the Edwards Plateau and into the western

Hill Country then extending southward towards Del Rio/vicinity. This

area missed the recent rainfall, and westerly sustained winds of

15-20 mph and minimum RH of 20-30% are likely to develop across

portions of this area.

...Synopsis...

A broad mid-level trough, with multiple embedded mid-level impulses,

will traverse the central U.S. today, with a surface cyclone poised

to deepen while translating from the central Plains to the Great

Lakes in tandem with the first mid-level impulse. As this occurs, a

broad region of 15-25 mph sustained westerly surface winds will

overspread western Texas into Oklahoma behind a cold front through

the day. However, RH will dip only into the 25-40 percent range, and

will be preceded by appreciable rainfall accumulations, putting fuel

receptiveness to wildfire spread into question. While localized

wildfire spread potential is evident, such conditions do not appear

widespread enough to warrant fire weather highlights.
