The National Weather Service in San Angelo has issued a Fire Weather Watch for Brown County for Saturday.  West winds of 20 to 30 mph, with higher gusts, will develop across West Central Texas Saturday afternoon.  These winds will also bring a drier air mass dropping relative humidity values into the 10 to 20 percent range for areas generally west of a line from Brownwood …to Brady… to Sonora.

This combination of dry conditions and strong winds may create critical fire weather conditions.

A fire weather watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible red flag warnings.
