FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
614 AM CST FRI FEB 20 2026
DISCUSSION
FOG HAS CROPPED UP ACROSS THE AREA VERY EARLY THIS MORNING, WITH
DENSE FOG BECOMING MORE OF A THREAT TOWARDS THE COAST. FRIDAY
AFTERNOON MINIMUM RH IS STILL EXPECTED TO AVERAGE AROUND 60
PERCENT, WITH THE DRIEST CONDITIONS FARTHEST INLAND AND THE
HIGHEST RH NEAR THE COAST. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE PARTICULARLY
DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN SPECIFIC VALUES FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
AREA, GENERALLY NORTH OF THE HOUSTON METRO AS A WEAK FRONT DROOPS
IN FROM THE NORTH. LOCATIONS THAT MANAGE TO GET INTO THE AIRMASS
BEHIND THIS FRONT SHOULD SEE EVEN LOWER AFTERNOON RH VALUES, TO
AROUND OR EVEN BELOW 40 PERCENT THANKS TO SOME MODEST DRY AIR
FILTERING IN. HOWEVER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT JUST HOW
FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL GET BEFORE STALLING OUT. THEREFORE, WE
WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE PROGRESSION OF THIS FRONT CLOSELY IN CASE
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RH FORECAST ARE WARRANTED. THERE WILL ALSO BE
SOME DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED, LIGHT SHOWERS AROUND THE FRONT. ANY
RAIN, THOUGH, WILL BE BRIEF AND VERY LIGHT. BY SATURDAY, A MORE
SUBSTANTIAL COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING MUCH DRIER AIR AND
INCREASING NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE AREA.
