FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
422 AM CST SAT FEB 21 2026
DISCUSSION
AFTER YESTERDAY'S WEAK FRONT, A MORE SUBSTANTIAL COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS THROUGH THE MORNING. THIS WILL TURN WINDS
NORTHWESTERLY TO NORTHERLY, INCREASING TO 10-15 MPH WITH GUSTS
INTO THE LOW 20S USHERING IN A DRIER - AND EVENTUALLY - COLDER AIR
MASS. THIS AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, INCREASED SUN WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES RELATIVELY WARM, WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80
AND RH BOTTOMING OUT GENERALLY IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE.
COLDER AIR ARRIVES TONIGHT, BRINGING US BACK TO MORE TYPICAL
TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY MORNING, SETTING US UP FOR A COOLER BUT
MUCH DRIER AFTERNOON, ALONG WITH ONLY MODESTLY WEAKER WINDS. THIS
LOOKS LIKE AN AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY IN 60S ACROSS THE
AREA, BUT STILL WITH RH FALLING BELOW 25 PERCENT. PEAK NORTHERLY
WINDS LOOK TO BE AROUND 10 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 20 MPH, BUT WITH
A GENERAL TREND OF SLOW WEAKENING THROUGH THE DAY. DRY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW WEEK.
