KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 510 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2026

- Dry air, breezy winds, and dry fuels could lead to increased fire weather concerns through early this week, mainly across the Brush Country and inland Coastal Plains.

- Above average temperatures to continue this week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1036 AM CST Sun Feb 15 2026

The cold front yesterday has resulted in drier air and clear skies today. While above normal high temperatures are still expected this week, we will notice overnight low temperatures into the 50s. Low level moisture will still be sufficient for the development of patchy to areas of fog across the Coastal Plains Monday morning.

Rain chances are not expected to return through the work week as an upper-level ridge builds in and persists over the region. This will allow temperatures to increase through the week, with highs in the upper 80s to the low 90s. Another weak boundary is expected late in the week, but this will be dry and will only serve to lower temperatures a degree or two.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 510 PM CST Sun Feb 15 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through most of the TAF period. There is a low potential for brief CIG/VSBY restrictions due to patchy fog on Monday morning, mainly over the Coastal Plains. Have continued to include TEMPOs for MVFR to LIFR conditions for ALI/CRP/VCT between 10-15Z. North-northwesterly winds will become generally northeasterly and light after sunset, before shifting to the southeast by late Monday morning.

MARINE

Issued at 1036 AM CST Sun Feb 15 2026

A north to northwesterly moderate to fresh (BF 4-5) breeze will diminish through Monday afternoon. Onshore flow will return Monday afternoon and diminish to a gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) breeze, with occasionally fresh breezes (BF 5). Dry conditions will continue through the end of the week.

FIRE WEATHER

Issued at 1036 AM CST Sun Feb 15 2026

Relative humidity values are forecast to drop well below 30% mainly across the Brush Country and western Coastal Plains for several days in response to yesterday's frontal passage. This dry air combined with 20-foot winds of 10-15 mph, with occasional higher gusts, and Energy Release Component values in the 70th-89th percentile have prompted the issuance of a Fire Danger Statement (RFD) today. Similar conditions are expected through Tuesday.
