...Synopsis...

A compact upper-low will move out of the Southwest and into central

Texas today. A strong mid-level jet will emerge across the Texas Big

Bend where a deeply mixed atmosphere is present. 20 to 25 mph

sustained surface winds are expected with relative humidity of 8 to

12 percent. Fuels in the region are very dry with minimal

precipitation in the past 30 days. 



Therefore, critical fire weather conditions are expected. A wind

shift will occur during the evening as a cold front moves south into

the region which may lead to erratic fire spread with any ongoing

fires in the region.
