Texas and Oklahoma face increased wildfire risks this week

Forecasters predict a return of critical fire conditions in Texas and Oklahoma this week. Dry winds of 25 to 40 miles per hour are expected, raising concerns about uncontrollable wildfires in the region. A recent cold front has reduced moisture levels, with humidity dropping below 20 percent. This combination of high winds and low humidity creates a dangerous environment for wildfires. Temperatures are expected to rise into the 60s and 70s, further increasing fire risks. Firefighters may face challenges in controlling any potential outbreaks due to these conditions.
