mph are expected. Peak gusts up to 45 mph are expected over the
southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country, with gusts of 25-35 mph
along the I-35 corridor and Rio Grande Plains. Relative
humidities will be very low across the entirety of South Central
Texas with widespread values of 5-15 percent along and west of the
I-35 corridor. Winds are forecast to diminish after sunset.
* TIMING...From Friday afternoon through Friday evening.
* WINDS...West 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35-45 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 5 percent.
* TEMPERATURES...80 to 90 in the Southern Edwards Plateau, Hill
Country, and I-35 corridor, and up to 100 for the Rio Grande
Plains.
* IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will rapidly increase in size
and intensity, move quickly, and be very difficult to control.

are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible
