A strong cold front pushing through south central Texas this morning will bring blustery north winds to the region today. Northerly winds will increase to 25 to 35 mph with higher gusts of 35 to 45 mph behind the cold front. Therefore a Wind Advisory is in effect from 6 am until 8 PM this evening.

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 26 to 39 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

... Fire Weather Watch in effect from Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening...
The National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio has issued a Fire Weather Watch... which is in effect from Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening.
On Sunday humidities will fall into the teens to near 20 across much of the region as winds will continue to blow out of the north and northwest at 15 to 25 mph. This will result fire weather values near or above critical levels by Sunday afternoon. Therefore a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for Sunday afternoon and evening.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Fire Weather Watch means weather conditions are expected to promote fires that will be difficult to control across the watch area. A Fire Weather Watch is completely separate from a local burn ban which is issued by local officials.
