...A RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY FOR ALL OF
NORTH TEXAS...FOR GUSTY WINDS AND VERY DRY CONDITIONS...

GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL COMBINE WITH LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY TO CREATE A HIGH FIRE DANGER AGAIN TODAY. LOW HUMIDITY
CONTRIBUTES TO BOTH FIRE INITIATION AND MAINTENANCE. STRONG WINDS
SPREAD FIRES READILY AND MAKE THEM DIFFICULT TO CONTAIN.

WITH DORMANT VEGETATION AND STRONG WINDS...WHAT LITTLE GROUND
MOISTURE RESULTED FROM SCANT RAINFALL MONDAY HAS SINCE EVAPORATED.
FUELS ARE ONCE AGAIN VERY DRY.

ALL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PREVENT FIRES FROM STARTING.
OUTDOOR BURN BANS REMAIN IN EFFECT AREAWIDE. AVOID ANY ACTIVITIES
THAT COULD START A DEADLY FIRE...SUCH AS OUTDOOR WELDING OR TOSSING
LIT CIGARETTES. NEARLY ALL WILDFIRES ARE INTENTIONALLY OR CARELESSLY
SET.

IF YOU OBSERVE A WILDFIRE OR ONE DEVELOPS...REPORT IT QUICKLY TO THE
NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
