The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has issued warnings for critical fire weather conditions across the southern Plains and Southwest, driven by a trailing cold front bringing gusty winds, very low relative humidity, anomalously warm temperatures, and dry fuels. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued red flag warnings for Oklahoma and Texas, highlighting a significant fire-weather corridor. These conditions are expected to persist through the weekend, with warm, dry, and windy patterns increasing the risk of fires.
