March 4Mar 4 but in our backyard(s) per the National Weather Service. 50 MPH+ wind gusts. Humidity levels at or below double digits. ie., dry as shit. Lots of stupidity running amok today. Hopefully it takes a day off tomorrow. At least the part that could put things up in flames. https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2025-03-03/austin-tx-wildfire-red-flag-warning-windy-dry
