KVUE has issued yet another Weather Impact Alert Day for the afternoon of Monday, March 17, as extreme fire danger persists across portions of Central Texas, including in the Hill Country where we've already seen a large wildfire burn.

Here is what we're tracking.

Monday's fire danger
While we do start off St. Patrick's Day on Monday with some low clouds, we expect those clouds to mix out by the afternoon hours, and a sunny afternoon takes hold with highs in the lower 80s.

The main story with tomorrow is the wind, which could gust up to 25 mph in the Austin metro, but slightly higher than that in the Hill Country and Coastal Plains.

With the wind, as well as the dry soils caused by this winter's lack of precipitation, we're tracking extreme fire weather conditions for the Hill Country, and "very high" fire danger for most of the rest of Central Texas.

As a result of this, we have issued a Weather Impact Alert Day for Monday. While Williamson and Lee counties are the only counties in Central Texas that are not currently under a burn ban, any outdoor burning is still strongly discouraged, and we encourage mindfulness of anything that may cause a spark.

Monday won't be the only day in which we are tracking extreme fire danger across Central Texas.
