Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1258 AM CST Sat Jan 10 2026
Valid 101200Z - 111200Z
...Synopsis...
Broad mid-level troughing will intensify as it moves eastward across
the US today and tonight. A cold front will sweep southeastward
through the Plains and southeast States with showers and
thunderstorms ahead of it. Strong high pressure will rapidly build
over the Rockies and western states. A dry post-frontal air mass
will develop in the wake of the front, with the driest portions
expected across parts of the Edwards Plateau and the Rio Grande
Valley. Downslope and gusty northerly winds of 20-25 mph will
overlap with RH values as low as 15-20% this afternoon. While some
rain has fallen over the eastern portions of south-central TX,
overall fuels remain quite dry. This will promote a few hours of
Elevated fire weather conditions in the Rio Grande Valley and
Edwards Plateau this afternoon. Fire weather concerns will quickly
diminish this evening as winds weaken and colder temperatures settle
into region.
