Hill Country, and potentially into the I-35 corridor late

after sunset. Another critical fire weather day is anticipated
over the same regions on Friday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will rapidly increase in
size and intensity, move quickly, and be very difficult to

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