Grass Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
201 AM CDT Wed Sep 16 2026

...ELEVATED FIRE THREAT THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN NORTH AND
CENTRAL TEXAS...

Above-average temperatures between 98-102 degrees and afternoon RH
values of 20-30% will create a favorable setup for fire starts
this afternoon, primarily west of the I-35 corridor. South-
southeast winds will be slightly weaker today at 5-10 mph with
occasional gusts to 15 mph. Some low-level cloud cover will be
present in the early morning hours across Central Texas, however
skies will become mostly sunny by late morning. Temperatures will
drop into the upper 80s and relative humidity will rebound into
the 40-50% range by late evening, reducing the fire threat after
sunset.

Extreme care is urged during all outside activities where there
is a potential for grass fires to get started. Avoid outside
burning and welding. Do not toss lit cigarette butts outside.
Report wildfires to the nearest fire department or law
enforcement office quickly.
