...RED FLAG WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA FRIDAY...

.With the ongoing drought conditions, we have KBDI values well into
the 700s, with 10-hour and 100-hour fuel moisture values hovering
around 25%. Subsidence behind the front will further dry out the
already dry continental air mass, leading to a significant drop in
dew points following the front. The forecast drops RH values below
30% across central Louisiana and the interior portions of
southeast Texas. Friday through Sunday look to be concerning for
fire weather. However, Saturday appears to be the most critical
day as the dry, subsided airmass becomes fully entrenched over the
highly dried out fuels. This setup is similar to the weather
conditions that sparked the Tiger Island fire in 2023, and fires
that do spark could quickly spread out of control..

The National Weather Service in Lake Charles has issued a Fire
Weather Watch for high winds and low relative humidity, which is
in effect from Friday morning through late Friday night.
