Officials are concerned about wildfire dangers in South Central Texas
Although the region is not under a Red Flag Warning, NWS meteorologist Eric Platt said residents should be mindful that conditions are currently"critically dry and critically hot."
Most of the area, including Bexar County, will be under a Rangeland Fire Danger Product from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday. The product is one step below a Red Flag Warning.The product was issued due to the ongoing drought, lack of precipitation and high temperatures in the area, according to Platt. While other factors, including human interaction, are necessary for a wildfire to start,"conditions are favorable for rapid growth and spread," Platt said.
"Something has to cause a spark," Platt said."Very windy conditions might get a power pole knocked down. Wires may knock together, which has been seen in parts of Texas. There has to be some sort of human-caused ignition."
