Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southeast Texas
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
628 AM CDT Fri Oct 17 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. Despite higher RH`s, vegetation
remains quite dry. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms
are possible today and Saturday ahead of a cool front that should
pass through the region Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
Drier air and breezy northeasterly winds behind the front will lead
to moderate to high fire danger rating on Sunday.
