Fire Weather Watch issued October 14 at 2:14PM CDT until October 17 at 1:00AM CDT by NWS Lake Charles LA

...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. * AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 027 Vernon, Fire Weather Zone 028 Rapides, Fire Weather Zone 029 Avoyelles, Fire Weather Zone 030 Beauregard, Fire Weather Zone 031 Allen, Fire Weather Zone 032 Evangeline, Fire Weather Zone 033 St. Landry, Fire Weather Zone 044 Lafayette, Fire Weather Zone 045 Upper St. Martin, Fire Weather Zone 141 Northern Calcasieu, Fire Weather Zone 142 Northern Jefferson Davis, Fire Weather Zone 143 Northern Acadia, Fire Weather Zone 180 Tyler, Fire Weather Zone 201 Hardin, Fire Weather Zone 259 Northern Jasper, Fire Weather Zone 260 Northern Newton, Fire Weather Zone 261 Southern Jasper and Fire Weather Zone 262 Southern Newton. * TIMING...From Friday morning through late Friday night. * WINDS...North 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. * RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 35 percent. * TEMPERATURES...Up to 87. * LIGHTNING... * IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will catch and spread quickly.

SAFETY and DATA MESSAGE

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location.
