FIRE DANGER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
125 AM CST WED JAN 21 2009

...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND CURED FUELS WILL CONTINUED THE 
THREAT FOR WILDFIRES ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS TODAY...

DEEP SOUTH TEXAS CAN EXPECT RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE LOW 20S 
OVER MOST OF OUR REGION THIS AFTERNOON. DRY CONDITIONS AND CURED AND 
ABUNDANT FUELS WILL ONCE AGAIN RESULT IN POSSIBLE CRITICAL FIRE 
CONDITIONS BY AFTERNOON.

SOUTHEAST WIND SPEEDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH RED FLAG CRITERIA AT 
THIS TIME...HOWEVER BECAUSE OF CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS A RED 
FLAG WARNING COULD BE ISSUED LATER TODAY. LARGE WILDFIRES DEVELOPED 
YESTERDAY IN CONDITIONS BELOW RED FLAG WARNING CRITERIA. FIRES THAT 
DO START COULD EXHIBIT CONSIDERABLE GROWTH DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF 
STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS.

RESIDENTS OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY 
SHOULD REMAIN EXTRA VIGILANCE TODAY AND EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION
CONCERNING ANY FIRE ACTIVITIES.
