Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southeast Texas
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1141 PM CDT Thu Oct 16 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Southeast flow will increase moisture levels and improve fire
weather conditions. Minimum afternoon RH values on Friday are
expected to exceed 50 percent. Rain chances will gradually
increase Friday and Saturday ahead of a weak front. Despite
the improved conditions, vegetation remains quite dry,
enhancing the fire risk due to plentiful dry fuels. Drier air
and breezy northeasterly winds behind a weak frontal boundary
will lead to moderate to high fire danger rating on Sunday.
