The National Weather Service in Lubbock has issued a Red Flag

  become northeast at 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph behind

  a cold front during the afternoon. The wind shift will first

  affect the southern Texas Panhandle around midday, then affect 

  the South Plains and Rolling Plains later in the afternoon.



* Humidity...As low as 5 percent. 



* Fuels...Extremely dry.



* Impacts...Any fires that develop can spread rapidly. Outdoor

  burning is discouraged.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions

are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of

strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can

contribute to extreme fire behavior.
