Due to the influx of drier air and windy conditions coming up
for Friday and Saturday, fire weather conditions are expected
to range from elevated to critical across portions of Southeast
Texas. Southwest winds around 15 to 20 mph alongside relative
humidity values in the 20 to 25 percent range on Friday will
lead to critical fire weather conditions across the Brazos
Valley and the Piney Woods. More widespread low relative
humidity values in the teens and 20s is expected on Saturday
alongside gusty westerly winds. This creates a more widespread
critical fire weather threat.
