Houston weather: Red Flag Warning in effect until Saturday evening
Houston weather: Red Flag Warning remains until Saturday night
Under a Red Flag Warning, wildfires that start in these conditions could grow and move quickly. Meanwhile, deadly severe weather is travelling through states east of Texas
Breezy and cool the rest of the weekend
HOUSTON - A cold front swept across southeast Texas early Saturday morning. Winds will relax some Saturday night, but still breezy.
Dry north winds remain around 10mph most of the day on Sunday.
Fire Danger this weekend
Houston is under a Red Flag Warning until Saturday evening. Wind gusts could reach up to 35 mph with relative humidity values ranging from 20-25%. Avoid open flames or sparks, keep vehicles off dry grass and properly discard cigarettes.
The Red Flag Warning expires tonight, but Sunday will still see an elevated fire danger across Southeast Texas.
Fantastic-looking forecast!
Temperatures return to the 80s on Monday afternoon, but it will be hard to complain about the forecast for the week. Isolated chances for rain on Wednesday as another weak front moves across the Houston area. That front once again brings drier and cooler days for the end of the week.
Allergy season continues
Oak pollen is on the rise and will be an issue for allergy sufferers for the next few weeks. Grass pollen is also likely to rise this week and next.
