  careful with those fireworks.... In case you missed the most recent weather forecasts...

...WILD FIRE RISK WILL CONTINUE TO BE HIGH THROUGH THE NEW YEAR'S HOLIDAY...
...STRONG COLD FRONT MAKES WINTER A REALITY JANUARY 1ST...

LOCAL WILD FIRE OFFICIALS HAVE INFORMED THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IN BROWNSVILLE OF THE CONTINUED THREAT OF WILD FIRE
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF JANUARY. OFFICIALS STATED
"THE MAJORITY OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY IS UNDER BURN RESTRICTIONS
NOW AND THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL OVER PAST FEW WEEKS HAVE
RESULTED IN EXTREMELY DRY FUEL CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS".

ANY USE OF FIREWORKS THIS NEW YEARS HOLIDAY WILL BRING INCREASED
WILD FIRE RISK FOR ALL OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. IF USING FIRE
WORKS...MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS...KEEP FIREWORKS
AWAY FROM GRASSY AREAS...AND KEEP WATER OR A HOSE CLOSE BY THE
IGNITION. ALWAYS HAVE ADULTS PRESENT WHEN DISCHARGING FIRE WORKS.

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS SCHEDULED FOR PASSAGE THROUGH THE SEMI-
TROPICS AT THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT NEW YEARS EVE...DRIVING WINDS
NORTH AT 20 TO 30 MPH AND BRINGING DRY...COLD AIR TO THE RIO
GRANDE VALLEY. GALE CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED TO
DEVELOP WITH SEAS AT 12 FEET OVER OUR MARINE AREAS BY SUNRISE TUESDAY. ¶ posted by Lucinda @ 8:49 AM 0 comments links to this post

  holiday vacancy Due to a last-minute cancellation, I find myself with a vacant condo for New Years. This is a great opportunity for someone to host a holiday gathering in a fun and spacious party spot, get happy and then crawl into the conveniently adjacent bedroom. Make me an offer -- I am ready to negotiate!
