SUNDAY’S FORECAST: Less wind provides opportunity to control local grass fires

LESS WIND TODAY: Gusts of only up to 20 mph will allow firefighters to try to control local grass fires
SUNNY & PLEASANT SUNDAY: High near 80°, low humidity
FIRE DANGER RETURNS THIS WEEK: Gusty, especially Tuesday and Wednesday
CHILLY MORNINGS THIS WEEK: Lows in the 40s
STAYING DRY: No rain next 7 days

Good morning! If you’re smelling smoke throughout the day, it’s from the Crabapple Fire near Fredericksburg. Overnight, firefighters were able to get the fire 40% contained. Thankfully, winds will be less gusty today, allowing for more opportunity to contain the fire. Still, you may notice a dip in the air quality today from the smoke. Those with respiratory illnesses are advised to be aware and spend less time outdoors as needed!

Otherwise, it’s going to be a pleasant Sunday with low humidity and a high near 80°. Winds will be from the west-northwest at 10-15 mph.

Fire danger returns this week, especially Tuesday and Wednesday as gusts up to 35 mph will be possible as a cool front moves through South Central Texas.

Because of that front, mornings will be chilly most of this week — in the 40s. Make sure the kids have the jackets at the bus stop if they aren’t on Spring Break!
