FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
609 AM CST MON DEC 29 2025
DISCUSSION
A STRONG COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE AREA WITH STRONG AND
GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS IN THE ITS WAKE. WIND GUSTS ABOVE 25 MPH ARE
VIRTUALLY CERTAIN ACROSS THE AREA, AND SUSTAINED WINDS ABOVE 25
MPH ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT IN OPEN AREAS NEAR AND WEST OF THE
BRAZOS RIVER. IN THESE OPEN WESTERN AREAS AND NEAR THE GULF COAST,
OCCASIONAL GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 TO 45 MPH MAY BE SEEN. ALONG WITH
THE GUSTY WINDS, WE'LL ALSO SEE MUCH COLDER AND DRIER CONDITIONS
BEHIND THE FRONT. INDEED, AS THOSE STRONG WINDS ARE GRADUALLY
DECLINING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, WE'LL SEE AN OVERLAP WITH
AFTERNOON RH VALUES DROPPING TO THE 15 TO 25 PERCENT RANGE.
MONDAY COULD BE A DAY WITH CONSIDERATION FOR A RED FLAG WARNING,
BUT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE MITIGATED BY FUELS THAT ARE
NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL MOISTURE. STILL, WITH STRONG WINDS AND LOW
RH, IT WOULD BE BEST TO POSTPONE PLANS INVOLVING FIRE AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE IN LOCATIONS DOMINATED BY
GRASSES, AS THESE FINE FUELS WILL RESPOND VERY QUICKLY TO THE
DROPPING HUMIDITY.
