FNUS54 KLUB 181835 FWFLUB Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the South Plains Area National Weather Service Lubbock TX 135 PM CDT Mon May 18 2026 ...RED FLAG WARNING UNTIL 10 PM CDT THIS EVENING FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST, THE PANHANDLE OF AND THE EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE TEXAS... .DISCUSSION... A high-end fire weather episode is underway today, with extremely critical fire weather conditions expected for a large portion of the CWA. Strong, southwesterly winds between 25-35 mph, with gusts up to 55 mph, will occur across the Caprock and into the far southeastern Texas Panhandle. The only change from the previous forecast(s) was a slight increase in wind gusts, with wind gusts up to 55 mph now expected across most of the Caprock. RH will fall to as low as 4 percent this afternoon amidst hot surface temperatures ranging from the lower-middle 90s on the Caprock to near or in excess of 100 degrees in the Rolling Plains. Very deep mixing of the airmass remains expected, which will facilitate the strongest wind gust potential beyond 3 PM CDT as temperatures peak. The dryline will move into the Rolling Plains by the mid-afternoon hours, with winds transitioning towards the south ahead of it. Isolated-to-scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast across the eastern Rolling Plains this afternoon and evening. Cloud-to-ground lightning strikes may occur in rain-free areas. Storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph, with sudden and erratic changes in wind direction expected near storms. Otherwise, conditions will be favorable for dangerous growth and spread of wildfires through tonight. The Red Flag Warning remains in effect until 10 PM CDT for the Caprock and most of the Rolling Plains. A strong cold front will move through the forecast area during the early morning hours Tuesday, and is currently forecast to cross into the far southern TX PH by 3 AM CDT. Trends in the frontal timing will continue to be monitored. A wind shift to the north will occur immediately post-frontal passage, with wind speeds between 15-25 mph and localized gusts between 30-35 mph expected as the cold front moves through the forecast area. Storms may also develop across the Rolling Plains along the cold front. The front is forecast to clear south of the CWA shortly after sunrise Tuesday, with northerly winds gradually diminishing while veering eastward into the afternoon.
