and east into the Rio Grande Plains and Hill Country by mid
afternoon, and then potentially into the I-35 corridor late
afternoon and early evening.

are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds...low relative humidity...and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
