Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Texas
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
232 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Gusty southerly winds and high RH values are expected the next
couple of days. Winds could gust over 30 MPH at times. In our
southern and coastal zones, occasional gusts over 40 MPH cannot
be ruled out. There will also be a chance of isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms across our northern zones. An isolated
strong to severe thunderstorm is possible, especially on Friday.
Expected more widespread showers and storms on Saturday as a cold
front pushes across SE Texas.
