Current Situation for Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 9:30 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.
Through Friday,
there will be a low potential for wildfire activity as no critical
fire weather will occur over dry vegetation on the landscape.
Beginning
Friday through Sunday, a warming and drying trend is forecast for the state. During
this time, above normal temperatures and increased drying of surface fuel is
expected in the High Plains where pockets of dry fuel could reemerge on Sunday.
If these pockets of dry vegetation is exposed to elevated or critical fire
weather, there may be an increase in the wildfire potential.
There are currently 73 counties with burn bans in place.
Texas A&M Forest Service personnel are not currently responding to any active wildfires.
