FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
1210 PM CST SUN FEB 22 2026
DISCUSSION
COLDER AND MUCH DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO FLOOD INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS
ON GUSTY NORTH WINDS. THE DRYNESS OF THE INCOMING AIR OUTWEIGHS
THE COOLER TEMPS, WHICH WILL PUSH RH TO MINIMUM VALUES AROUND 20
PERCENT. THOSE VALUES LOOK TO BE A LITTLE ON THE HIGHER SIDE OF 20
PERCENT AT THE COAST, WHILE POTENTIALLY DROPPING INTO THE UPPER
TEENS IN LOCALIZED DRY SPOTS WELL INLAND. WHILE GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING THROUGH THE DAY, NORTH WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN RELATIVELY
STRONG AND GUSTY, ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST. THOSE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE BALLPARK OF 10 MPH - A LITTLE HIGHER EARLY
IN THE MORNING, A LITTLE LOWER BY EVENING - WITH GUSTS TO AROUND
20 MPH.
WHILE NOT REACHING CRITICAL THRESHOLDS THAT WOULD REQUIRE A RED
FLAG WARNING, THESE CONDITIONS ARE WINDIER AND DRIER THAN TYPICAL,
MAKING IT WISE TO USE CAUTION AGAIN TODAY WITH ANYTHING THAT CAN
CAUSE SPARKS OR OTHERWISE IGNITE FIRES, ESPECIALLY IN GRASSY
AREAS. BEYOND TODAY, VERY DRY CONDITIONS WILL STAY WITH US INTO
THE EARLY WEEK, WHILE WINDS DO BECOME LIGHTER, EVENTUALLY VEERING
TO BECOME ONSHORE ON TUESDAY.
