***RED FLAG WARNING: NO OUTDOOR BURNING THROUGH MARCH 10***

Caldwell County Judge Hoppy Haden has signed an emergency order prohibiting outdoor burning through Monday, March 10 due anticipated potentially hazardous high winds.

Read the order here:https://www.co.caldwell.tx.us/upload/page/0234/3.3.25%20Signed%20Emergency%20Order%20-%20Prohibition%20of%20Outdoor%20Burning.pdf

The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning that takes effect at 8 a.m. Tuesday and will remain in effect through 9 p.m. Tuesday due to low humidity and expected windy conditions from a Pacific cold front and a strong storm system that is expected to move across Texas.

A combination of strong winds, low humidity and warm temperatures can contributed to extreme fire behavior.

Winds between 25-35 mph with gusts of 45-55 mph are expected.

Any wildfires that start could rapidly increase in intensity and size and spread quickly.

All of South Central Texas is expected to be affected.
