Friday, Oct. 16

1:04 p.m.
Hidden Pines Fire is currently 4,582 acres and 25% contained.
Northeast winds will prevail at 8 - 12 mph. Around 2 - 4 p.m. is when winds are expected to be at their highest. Fire behavior is slow, with a chance of high significant fire potential.

Weather Update

Four consecutive days of accelerated drying for North, East and Central Texas has increased the amount of critically dry fuels. Wind speeds today increase the significant fire potential. Where critically dry conditions exist in parts of Northeast and parts of Central Texas the significant fire potential is high to very high.

Winds are expected to be their strongest during the morning hours and begin to relax going into the afternoon. Strongest winds will be the Panhandle, Southern Plains and out in West Texas. Wind speeds will also be a concern in East Texas, any speed above 10 mph can be enough to take a surface fire into the tree canopy.

Through the weekend, dry air will persist and could increase the fire potential. The current front will reinforce the dry air for Central, North and Northeast Texas for the entire weekend sending RH back into the teens.
