The continued presence of a surface trough from the central Plains into the southern High Plains will allow modestly breezy/gusty winds (15-20 mph) to develop by the afternoon. Strong surface heating will promote 20-25% RH. While recent rainfall has occurred in some parts of the region, extreme/exceptional drought has stressed fuels such that fire spread remains possible. Elevated fire weather is expected Sunday afternoon. ..Wendt.. 08/29/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
