Today’s forecast:
We’ll continue watching as winds pick up to 20+ mph today, heightening the potential for rapid fire spread despite temperatures staying in the low to mid-70s.
Again, we’re not under a full red-flag warning for Houston proper, but it’s elevated enough to warrant extra caution as winds pick up on Tuesday.
By Thursday, moisture levels will rise with increasing humidity, which should help decrease the fire risk as temperatures warm back into the upper 70s to low 80s.
It’s been a warm February, and our temperature outlook shows above average temperatures sticking around through the first week of March as well.
