    Red Flag Warnings are alread yin place for tomorrow March 19th

You guessed it! Another sunny and warm day is ahead, but today will be very windy. Temperatures will reach the middle 80s again today. South-southeast winds gust 45 - 50 mph this afternoon, making driving difficult, trash bins tumble over, and just overall 'disrespectfully' inconvenient. Please be careful out there! Strong winds will again bring concern for very high fire danger. For inland neighborhoods, relative humidity will be low (5-15%) and a Red Flag warning will be in effect for LaSalle and and Webb Counties beginning from noon to 8 p.m. Please continue to avoid activities that could spark a fire. High to Extreme fire danger are forecast through midweek. Please do what you can to prevent wildfires, especially tomorrow.

Relief is on the horizon! Humidity will rebound this weekend. This along will help reduce our fire risk. With enough moisture, we could even see a few isolated t-showers! I'll keep an eye on rain chances.
