FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
1259 AM CDT THU OCT 8 2026
DISCUSSION
LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY WINDS CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY AND
WILL OVERLAP WITH A POCKET OF DRIER AIR MOVING IN FROM THE EAST.
MINIMUM RH VALUES THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE 30-40%
RANGE. THERE ARE SOME DRIER FUELS IN PLACE MOSTLY NORTH OF I-10, BUT
THIS IS WHERE THE WINDS WILL BE MORE IN THE LIGHT RANGE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON (5-10 MPH). THE MODERATE WINDS (10-15 MPH) WILL BE CLOSER
TO THE COAST, BUT THE AIR ALSO WON'T BE AS DRY...AND FUELS ALSO NOT
AS DRY AS WELL. THIS IS STILL WORTHY OF A MENTION THOUGH SINCE RH
VALUES MAY GET A LITTLE BIT DRIER THAN THE FORECAST IS INDICATING
SINCE DRIER AIR HAS OVERPERFORMED RECENTLY. THE TEXAS A&M FOREST
SERVICE ONLY HAS A LOW TO MODERATE FIRE DANGER RATING ON THURSDAY
WITH THE MODERATE BEING FOR PORTIONS OF THE BRAZOS VALLEY AND THE
PINEY WOODS.
