DISCUSSION

Issued at 1106 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

For the remainder of today, temperatures will warm into the upper 70s and low 80s. Humidity levels will be very low, especially in the Ranchlands, but winds will remain light helping to mitigate any fire weather concerns. With that said, because of the extremely dry fuels, outdoor burning is not recommended.

Otherwise, as surface high pressure over the Gulf continues to move east and mid level ridging builds, expect warm and dry conditions across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley through the end of next week.

Temperatures for the next week will reach the low to mid 80s each afternoon (70s right along the coast). There is a 30-50% percent probability that areas along and west of I-69C/US 281 will reach the 90 degree mark on Wednesday. Overnight lows will continue to warm up with lows in the upper 50s and low 60s returning early next week.
