South Texas – A fire danger alert is in effect for the entire South Texas region today, from noon until 7 PM, due to elevated fire conditions. The National Weather Service warns that north-northwest winds will blow at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph. Coupled with low relative humidity levels ranging from 20-40%, these conditions pose a significant risk for wildfires.
According to the National Weather Service, the combination of dry fuels and gusty winds could lead to the rapid spread of fires. Officials urge residents to take precautions, including avoiding open flames or sparks, properly discarding cigarettes, and keeping away from dry grass or other fire-prone materials.
As of now, the fire danger encompasses all of South Texas, with cities like Corpus Christi, Laredo, and Victoria particularly at risk. The warning comes as part of an ongoing series of springtime weather patterns, which often see dry conditions and increased winds in the region.
Residents are advised to stay cautious and be prepared for the risk of fire, particularly in rural and undeveloped areas.
