SAN ANGELO – Strong gusty winds, low humidity and extremely dry fuels have prompted meteorologists with the National Weather Service office in San Angelo to issue a Red Flag Warning for the Concho Valley Monday afternoon and evening.
The threat of wildfires is greater because southwest winds at 15 to 20 mph and gusting higher will shift to the north Monday afternoon and increase in speed.
The winds combined with ample dry fuel and low humidity create conditions which exceed the threshold for a Red Flag Warning.
A Red Flag Warning means critical fire weather conditions are occurring or will occur shortly.
The Red Flag Warning is in effect from noon Monday until 10 p.m.
