Make sure to ramp up your allergy medicine this morning ahead of another very windy and exceptionally dry day. Extreme fire weather conditions will return statewide today, especially along and west of I-35, where a Red Flag Warning has been issued.
Our Friday starts mild, with low 60s in North Texas, middle 60s in central regions and upper 60s to the south. But by afternoon, most areas will see upper 80s to upper 90s. This is well above-normal for early March.
As another upper-level storm system approaches, very gusty winds will develop this afternoon. The atmosphere will be very dry and windy conditions will result in very high to extreme Fire Danger for most areas. Wind Advisories and Red Flag Fire Warnings are in effect for many areas.
Use extreme caution with any spark or flame — ANY ignition source could quickly produce an explosive, uncontrollable wildfire.
Saturday will bring a significant cool down as another dry front pushes through Texas. Fire danger remains elevated. Otherwise, the weekend looks mild and dry.
