Hazardous Weather Outlook

Above Normal Temperatures Continue

Rainfall Deficit across the Region

Warm and dry weather conditions will continue through the weekend, with highs remaining in the 80s and 90s each afternoon. An elevated grass fire threat will emerge for areas near and west of I-35 on Sunday in response to increasing wind speeds.

Much of Texas has dried out - many locations are running 1-4 inches below normal over the past 30 days. Unfortunately, above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation conditions are favored through mid October. We may see an increase in wildfire activity over the weekend due to breezy conditions expected on Sunday. Make sure to avoid outdoor burning.
