VALID 291200Z - 301200Z
..CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTH TEXAS
..SYNOPSIS
WITH AN UPPER LOW INTENSIFYING IN THE MID-SOUTH/SOUTHEAST TODAY, A
STRONG MID-LEVEL JET WILL OVERSPREAD PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PLAINS ALONG ITS WESTERN FLANK. IN THE WEST, AN INITIALLY
STRONG SURFACE HIGH WILL STEADILY WEAKEN THROUGH THE DAY.
..SOUTH TEXAS
STRONG SURFACE WINDS (15-25 MPH) ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF TEXAS.
WIND GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH ALSO APPEAR POSSIBLE WITH THE NORTHERLY
LOW-LEVEL JET MAINTAINING INTENSITY INTO PART OF THE AFTERNOON. HOW
LOW RH WILL FALL REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN, BUT 15-25% IS THE
CONSENSUS FROM GUIDANCE. DRY FINE FUELS (WITH ABOVE AVERAGE LOADING)
WILL PROMOTE ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER.
..SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
A FEW HOURS OF ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER APPEARS PROBABLE AS THE
TYPICALLY WIND-PRONE AREAS OF LA/VENTURA COUNTIES MAINTAIN 15-20 MPH
(LOCALLY HIGHER) WINDS. RH WILL LIKELY STILL BE LOW AT 15-20% AS
WELL. AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS, FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS SHOULD
SUBSIDE BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON.
