HOUSTON – Today’s red flag warnings are set to keep everyone on alert, especially around Highway 105 and in parts of San Jacinto County. These warnings, effective from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., indicate elevated fire danger due to current weather conditions.
Red flag warnings serve as a critical alert for everyone living in high-risk areas. As described in Brittany Bagley’s detailed piece on Click2Houston, these warnings highlight conditions where fires can easily ignite and rapidly spread. The combination of winds at 20 to 25 mph and low humidity creates a significant concern for fire crews in the area.
Impact of smoke and air quality
The north winds are expected to carry smoke southwards to areas such as Splendora, Roman Forest, Kingwood, Atascocita, and even parts of South and Southeast Harris County. While most of the smoke may rise significantly in the atmosphere, it’s still likely to create a hazy sky. The wind direction might change tomorrow, potentially affecting different areas.
Today’s weather outlook
A very nice start to our first day of spring, plenty of sunshine and temps reaching up to 68 to 70 degrees by this afternoon. Expect breezy conditions with gusts up to 28 mph.
By tomorrow, winds should start to decrease, influenced by high-pressure systems moving in. Additionally, there’s potential for strong thunderstorms by Sunday or Monday.
