From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

The winds are beginning to increase across the Big Country and with that the fire danger will continue to rise as well.

Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches are in effect for the entire KRBC viewing area. Please continue to use extra caution outdoors. Burn bans remain in effect for over 78% of the state of Texas.

We do have some changes on the way. First, another cold front pushes through Thursday evening into Friday. This front will knock temperatures back down into the lower to middle 60s for Friday and Saturday.

Sunday afternoon expect another windy afternoon ahead of another cold front due to arrive Sunday night.

The good news about that front is it looks like we'll still have enough moisture around for a few showers Monday. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms East of our area Monday and Monday afternoon.

Even if we do see rain, I do not expect to receive more than a quarter of an inch across the area. This will not relieve the fire weather conditions across the Big Country in the long term, but it will help in the short term.
