Current Situation for Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.
*This information will be updated Monday - Friday unless significant wildfire activity occurs.
Yesterday, Texas A&M Forest Service did not receive any new requests for assistance on wildfires burning across the state.
Limited fire
potential is expected through Thursday with above normal fuel moisture and
increased greening of grasses across the state. No significant fire potential
is forecast through Thursday.
Isolated
afternoon thunderstorms in the eastern Trans Pecos on Tuesday and Wednesday
could produce a small fire from lightning if one becomes established in
receptive fuels. A dry and warm environment this week could lead to areas of
isolated low fire potential where dry fuels emerge in the western Canadian
River drainage and in complex mountain terrain in the Trans Pecos.
A low potential
for wildfire activity will continue through the weekend as dry fuels are
exposed to elevated to critical fire weather.
Additional details
are posted in the Texas Fire Potential Update, https://bit.ly/TexasFirePotentialUpdate.
There are currently 76 counties with burn bans in place.
Texas A&M Forest Service is not currently responding to any active wildfires burning across the state.
