Breezy Weather Increases Wildfire Risk

The nice, warm weekend will come with an increased risk for wildfires. The biggest concern is for West Texas, where breezy weather will make it easier to spark a wildfire.

National Weather Service maps detail the problems for the Panhandle and Southern Oklahoma just north of the Red River.

NBC 5 Meteorologist Rick Mitchell says the wildfire threat for North Texas will be elevated over the weekend, mainly west of Interstate 35.
