30 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving

evening...
A red flag warning remains in effect until 6 PM CST this evening.
A dry line will rapidly move east today... to near the I-

relative humidity... and dry vegetation will create explosive fire
growth potential. Avoid all outside burning and welding on
Wednesday. Do not toss lit cigarette Butts outside. Report wild
fires to the nearest Fire Department or law enforcement office.
