🚩 Elevated Fire Weather Concerns this Weekend
A dry cold front arrives Saturday afternoon, creating a dangerous setup for the Northern Ranchlands (Zapata, Jim Hogg, and Brooks counties).
With relative humidity as low as 15% and wind gusts of 20+ mph, any fire that starts will spread rapidly, especially in areas currently under a D2 (severe) or D3 (extreme) drought.
Please avoid outdoor burning, properly discard cigarettes, and report fires to local authorities.
