Strong winds, warmth and low humidity are all combining early this ween creating an extreme fire threat from parts of New Mexico and West parts of Texas. A cold front in the High Plains will bring wind gusts of 40-50 mph to this area and any fires already in existence and new fires will fan out from winds of  this magnitude. In places such as Lubbock, Texas, new record high temperatures could be set. High temperatures are set to climb 15 degrees above the normal temperatures in areas ahead of the cold front. with the very dry air, the relative humidity levels will drop below 20%, which doesn't help the already the bad drought conditions across Texas and the plenty of tinder dry grass and brush to help fuel the fires.
