...FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY MORNING
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. 

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING...PUSHING OFFSHORE ALONG THE COASTAL BEND JUST BEFORE
SUNRISE. A VERY DRY AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY SPREAD ACROSS
THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AND THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OF 15 TO 25 PERCENT ACROSS THE RIO
GRANDE PLAINS AND 20 TO 30 PERCENT ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND AND
COASTAL PLAINS. MEANWHILE...STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
INTO SOUTH TEXAS WILL LEAD TO WINDY CONDITIONS WITH WINDS RANGING
FROM 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH POSSIBLE. THIS
COMBINATION OF LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AND STRONG WINDS WILL
LEAD TO A HIGH WILD FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY...
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE WORSENING DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND DRY
VEGETATION.

PLEASE ADVISE THE APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS AND FIRE CREWS IN THE
FIELD OF THIS FIRE WEATHER WATCH.
