Fire Weather Watch
URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Tallahassee FL
206 PM EDT Sat Apr 18 2026
...Critical Fire Weather through Monday...
A cold frontal passage on Sunday morning will be followed on
Sunday afternoon by northerly winds gusting around 25 mph, and RH
will be dropping in the afternoon as a drier air mass arrives.
Lingering cloud cover will be the main inhibitor to active fire
behavior on Sunday, but critical conditions remain possible Sunday
afternoon. With dry air continuing to filter in on Sunday night,
there will be poor nighttime humidity recovery.
On Monday, the heart of the dry air mass will be in place, with
minimum relative humidities commonly in the 15-20 percent range.
Sustained northeast winds will be near 10 to 15 mph and support
extremely high dispersion. Full sunshine, seasonably warm late
April temperatures, and ongoing drought will all contribute to a
critical fire environment. A Fire Weather Watch remains in effect
for Monday where winds are currently forecast to touch 15 mph. The
watch could be expanded in later forecast updates.
