Central Texas Fire Danger: High Alert Friday
•
Central Texas faces a high fire danger on Friday due to a combination of dry conditions, including record-breaking warmth, gusty winds, low humidity, and ongoing drought. The KVUE Weather Team has declared it a Weather Impact Alert Day from ten a.m. to six p.m. Officials urge everyone to avoid outdoor burning, as the risk is too high. Many counties are under burn bans, and the latest drought monitor shows severe to extreme dryness. Fire crews are on high alert, and residents are advised to report any smoke or flames immediately. Stay safe and check local updates before heading outdoors. Checkout Solipillow.com
