...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 7 PM CST THIS
EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...

A Red Flag Warning is in place from 12 PM to 7 PM today. South-
southwest winds will increase to 15 to 30 MPH with gusts of 35 
MPH possible this afternoon. Boundary layer mixing should offset 
weak residual moisture advection, so minimum RHs are forecast to
range from 15 to 25 percent. Given the dormant and extremely dry 
fuels, low RHs and south-southwest wind gusts up to 35 MPH, any 
fires may become uncontrollable wild fires. All outdoor burning 
will need to be postponed. RH will range from 20 to 30 percent
tomorrow afternoon and winds will remain strong. Thus, elevated
fire danger will exist tomorrow as well.
