FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
556 AM CST THU JAN 1 2026
DISCUSSION
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL ENHANCE A WARMING TREND TODAY AND
TOMORROW. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES COULD BE NEAR RECORD WARMTH BY
FRIDAY. DESPITE MODEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM THE GULF, THE
RISING TEMPERATURES WILL KEEP RH VALUES LOW ON FRIDAY. MINIMUM
AFTERNOON RH IS EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 25 TO 35 PERCENT IN THE BRAZOS
VALLEY COUNTIES BOTH DAYS. MOST ELSEWHERE IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
35 TO 45 PERCENT RANGE. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE IN OUR COASTAL
COUNTIES, WHERE AFTERNOON RH VALUES WILL BE MUCH HIGHER IN THE 50
TO 60 PERCENT RANGE. RH VALUES MAY BE EVEN HIGHER THAN THIS NEAR
THE IMMEDIATE COAST. MIXING HEIGHTS WILL GENERALLY BE KEPT DOWN BY
MORE STABLE AIR, BUT THE GRADUAL WARMING EXPECTED SHOULD ALLOW
THEM TO DRIFT SLIGHTLY UPWARDS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
FOG RISK IS GENERALLY LOW. HOWEVER, WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL
FOR PATCHY FOG FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BE DEPENDING ON THE WINDS WHICH
MAY BE A LITTLE TOO ELEVATED FOR FOG. THAT BEING SAID, A SLIGHTLY LIGHTER
WIND THAN FORECAST WOULD RESULT IN FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR PATCHY DENSE
FOG, ESPECIALLY IN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
