It has been a scorching hot summer for Central Texas, and the combination of heat and lack of rain continues to increase our fire danger.
A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the KVUE area from noon through 11 p.m. Monday. This means that critical fire danger is expected. Please continue to avoid any outdoor burning or anything that could result in a spark.

The fire weather outlook for the next three days shows continued "high" to "very high" fire danger. Breezy conditions are expected to linger through the start of this week, so it's possible additional Red Flag Warnings will be issued over the coming days.
