As the strong surface cyclone over OK continues to deepen, west/southwest downslope flow will gradually develop over West TX and the Big Bend region. Aided by strong mid-level flow ahead of the approaching trough, gusts of 30-40 mph are possible through the afternoon. RH values below 20% are also possible within the dry warm sector of the strengthening cyclone. A few hours of overlap of dry and windy surface conditions should support elevated to locally critical meteorological conditions across parts of the TX Big Bend region.

While a few hours of localized fire-concerns are possible, widespread critical conditions appear unlikely. ..Lyons.. 01/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
