Fire Weather Planning Forecast for South Central Texas
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
147 PM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...

A hot and dry weather pattern will persist across South Central
Texas through at least the middle of next week. Minimum relative
humidities remain above 30 percent over areas along and east of
I-35, and fall into the 20s west of I-35. Some locally elevated
fire weather conditions will be possible along the Rio Grande
where the southeast afternoon wind of 15 to 20 mph combines with
RH values that could fall to near 20 percent by the late afternoon
hours. By late next week the upper ridge will shift its
orientation more to the SW into Mexico which might decrease
temperatures just a bit as some moisture tries to move west onto
the Texas coast. Overall however the hot/dry pattern will likely
persist through the remainder of August. As a result, grasses
will continue to dry and may become dormant or cured. This may
lead to increasingly common elevated fire weather conditions,
especially across the Rio Grande plains.
