A Red Flag Warning has been issued for Southeast Texas and Central Louisiana, effective until 7 PM CDT on Monday, March 16, 2026, due to critical fire weather conditions. The warning covers several fire weather zones, including Northern Orange, Lower Jefferson, Southern Orange, and other areas in Louisiana. The hazardous conditions are driven by strong northwest winds, ranging from 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph, combined with extremely low relative humidity levels, as low as 20 percent. Temperatures are expected to reach approximately 55°F (13°C), further drying out potential fuel sources.
