Fire Weather Watch until 08:00PM Saturday

...BREEZY AND DRY BEHIND A COLD FRONT SATURDAY WILL RESULT IN CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS... .A combination dryline and cold front will move through South-Central Texas from west to east Saturday between midnight and noon. This boundary will bring much drier air and breezy northwesterly winds. Relative humidity will drop below 30% from the western Hill Country, southern I-35 Corridor, and western Coastal Plains to the Rio Grande. Most of this area will have RH less than 20%. Winds will be 15-20 mph with higher gusts during the afternoon and early evening. This will result in the likelihood of critical fire weather conditions. Critical conditions look likely west of I-10/I-37 and possible east of there. At this time, the dry air doesn't look like it will make it to the eastern most part of the area, and RH should stay above 30% in this area. The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio has issued a Fire Weather Watch for low humidity and breezy winds, which is in effect from Saturday afternoon through Saturday evening.
