Cedar Park Fire

Do not set off fireworks. Not only is it illegal in the City of Cedar Park, but it is hot and dry outside, making for perfect fire-starting weather. Leave the firework displays to the professionals. cedarparktexas.gov/stopthepop

Very warm today with skies quickly clearing behind a dryline. Low humidity and breezy NW winds result in elevated to critical fire weather conditions west of I-35 today. Any fires that ignite could spread rapidly. Avoid activities that could inadvertently cause a wildfire. #txwx
