San Antonio Faces Elevated Fire Danger and Exciting Local Deals This Week

Hello, San Antonio! As we gear up for a thrilling week ahead, there are a few important developments that everyone needs to be aware of, particularly regarding fire safety and some fantastic local deals you won’t want to miss!

Weather Alert: Fire Safety Comes First

First things first, we have a Weather Impact Alert Day kicking off this Friday, March 17, and lasting through March 19. This alert comes as a result of elevated fire danger in and around San Antonio due to arid and breezy weather conditions. With winds expected to gust between 20-30 mph on March 18, it’s safe to say that residents should be extra cautious.

Mark your calendars! We can expect another alert day on March 21 right after a short break from the warning on March 20. Keep an eye on the skies, because a Red Flag Warning will be in effect for all of South-Central Texas on March 19 from 5 AM to 9 PM. This means that fire weather conditions are dangerously critical, so be sure to think twice about any outdoor activities that could spark a wildfire.

Speaking of wildfires, the ongoing Crabapple wildfire in Gillespie County is a stark reminder of the risks involved with these dry conditions. While improving humidity levels are anticipated on March 18, don’t get too comfortable! Another critical fire day is forecasted for March 19, so let’s all do our part to stay safe.

Staying Safe and Prepared

A Fire Danger Statement is currently in effect for areas not covered by the Red Flag Warning, urging folks to steer clear of activities that could ignite a fire. With strong winds and dry conditions prevailing, the suggestion couldn’t be clearer: avoid outdoor burning and remain vigilant.

As we look ahead, remember that March 20 marks the first day of spring! While temperatures will be warming up, peaking at a sizzling 87°F by March 24, those gusty winds are going to linger. And, although there might be a slight reprieve, rain chances remain low until the end of March, with only a 20% chance for some measurable precipitation expected on March 23.
