Extremely dry air has settled over Texas and gusty winds continue to create elevated fire danger across many regions.

Saturday afternoon, a wildfire in Gillespie County spread a plume of smoke across the Austin area, producing very low air quality and an orange haze over the city.

Winds will relax heading into Sunday morning, but the dry air will cool off quickly, making for a chilly start to the day.

Sunday starts cool with low 40s in north Texas, middle 40s in central regions and 50s to the south. But by afternoon, most areas will see upper 70s to upper 80s – above normal for early March.

Otherwise, sunny skies will prevail over Texas.

Use extreme caution with any spark or flame; ANY ignition source could quickly produce an explosive, uncontrollable wildfire.
