As high winds blow through the South this weekend, thousands of acres of wildfires are raging in Texas. An outbreak of wildfires began in Texas on Friday as winds exceeded 30 miles per hour and dry land provided the ideal fuel.

The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center warned of "near historic" fire conditions in the Plains.

Wildfires in Oklahoma have destroyed at least 200 homes and burned around 170,000 acres. Dry air and strong winds fueled more than 130 fires across the state. Investigators are looking into downed power lines and controlled burns as possible causes.

On Sunday at 12:50 p.m. the NWS Fort Worth TX issued a red flag warning valid for Monday between 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. The warning is for Wise, Parker, Hood, Montague, Cooke, Young, Jack, Stephens, Palo Pinto,

The weather problem is simple. We haven't had much rain so far this spring and the last time it rained was a week ago.

The winds have died down, but dry and breezy conditions fuel continued fire concerns into the weekend.
