Southwesterly winds gusting up to 35 mph and very dry conditions lead to fire weather concerns on Thursday. Take extra precautions to prevent fire starts, as these conditions create an environment where fires may spread very easily.
Southwest winds gusting up to 50 mph and very dry conditions create conditions that would allow fires to spread rapidly. Take extra precautions to prevent fire starts.
Our last round of thunderstorms this week may pose another marginal risk for severe weather. If any storm can become severe in the Panhandle region, large hail and damaging winds are the most like outcome.
A strong cold front should arrive in the area Friday night. Much cooler temperatures are expected on Saturday, with our most likely highs in the 60s and 70s.
Friday-Saturday and Saturday-Sunday night after the cold front passes through the area on Friday, overnight lows will approach and likely surpass freezing in parts of the combined Panhandles.
