0125 PM CST TUE FEB 03 2026
VALID 041200Z - 051200Z
..NO CRITICAL AREAS
..AFTERNOON UPDATE SOUTHERN CA
OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVER PARTS OF THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN CA LATE DAY 1 TUESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH
DAY 2 WEDNESDAY. EASTERLY PRESSURE GRADIENTS OF 5-7 MB WILL SUPPORT
GUSTS OF 30-40 MPH AT RIDGE TOP LEVEL AND THROUGH LOCAL TERRAIN
GAPS. WITH POOR OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES BELOW 30% EXPECTED,
SOME LOCALIZED FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS ARE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, FUEL
MOISTURE REMAINS HIGH ENOUGH TO LIMIT A GREATER FIRE WEATHER CONCERN
DESPITE SOME ALIGNMENT OF DRY/WINDY CONDITIONS.
..SOUTHERN PLAINS AND FAR SOUTH TX
A FEW HOURS OF GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE FRONTAL INTRUSION
ACROSS FAR SOUTH TX WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WITH AFTERNOON RH
BELOW 30% AND WINDS OCCASIONALLY GUSTING TO 15-20 MPH, SOME
LOCALIZED FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN DRIER SHORT HOUR
FUELS. HOWEVER, MORE WIDESPREAD DRY FUELS ARE LACKING, AND THE
ARRIVAL OF A COOLER AIR MASS SUGGEST THE OVERALL THREAT REMAINS LOW.
SEE THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
