337 AM CDT TUE SEP 16 2025
DISCUSSION
SURFACE RIDGING CONTINUES, KEEPING THINGS DRY AND HOT THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. EAST WINDS THROUGH MIDWEEK WILL BRING IN LOWER
DEWPOINTS, RESULTING IN MINIMUM RH'S BETWEEN 25-35% EACH
AFTERNOON. THIS PAIRED WITH DRY VEGETATION COULD LEAD TO QUICK
STARTING FIRES ESPECIALLY NEAR WARM HARVEST EQUIPMENT. HOWEVER,
LIGHT WINDS SHOULD MITIGATE RAPID FIRE SPREAD. VENT RATES WILL BE
POOR TO FAIR THROUGH AT LEAST MIDWEEK.
