NWS Warns of Extreme Wildfire Danger Wednesday

 

SAN ANGELO – Strong and gusty southwest winds Wednesday afternoon will combine with very dry air and tinder dry fuels to create extreme wildfire conditions across the Concho Valley.  

The National Weather Service office in San Angelo has issued a Fire Weather Watch for the Concho Valley from noon Wednesday through 6 p.m.

Southwest winds of 25 to 35 mph will gust to 50 mph and combine with relative humidities in the teens to create extreme wildfire conditions. 

Any wildfires that ignite will spread rapidly out of control.  All outdoor burning, including commercial welding is discouraged.  

A Fire Weather Watch means that there is the potential for extreme wildfire conditions to occur. This watch could be upgraded to a Red Flag Warning.
