Fire Weather Warning
... Red flag warning in effect from 11 am to 5 PM CST Saturday...
The National Weather Service in Huntsville has issued a red flag
warning... which is in effect from 11 am to 5 PM CST Saturday. The
Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect.
Very dry conditions will develop Saturday under a broad area of
high pressure... causing relative humidity values to fall below 25
percent throughout Saturday afternoon... and as low as 15 percent
for an hour or two. The combination of this dry airmass and
existing dry vegetation will result in an elevated fire
danger... though surface winds will likely remain under 10 mph.
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now... or will shortly. Relative humidities
at or below 25 percent and dry conditions will create dangerous
fire weather conditions.
