Current Situation for December 1, 2022 at 8:30 a.m.
Yesterday, Texas A&M Forest Service did not respond to any requests for assistance on wildfires.
Recent precipitation has increased moisture in the fire environment and fire activity will be limited to initial attack activity in freeze cured grasses. There may be 2-3 days of moderate drying in the fuels/vegetation this week.
Two fronts are forecast to impact the state this week. Prefrontal conditions on Tuesday and, again, on Friday may produce elevated fire weather. The combination of elevated fire weather, normal fuel dryness and freeze cured grasses may produce a low potential for initial attack activity in the High Plains.
There are currently 69 counties with burn bans.
*This information will be updated Monday - Friday while wildfire activity remains low.

Current Wildland Fire Preparedness Level:
On October 26, 2022, Texas A&M Forest Service lowered the Wildland Fire Preparedness Level to Level 1. Recent
rainfall has helped to increase dead fuel moisture across much of the
state. Forecast rainfall will continue to keep the potential for wildfire
activity low.
Preparedness
Levels 1-5 in state are planning assumptions and actions dictated by fuel and weather conditions, fire
activity and fire suppression resource availability. Level 5 is the
highest level of wildland fire activity and indicates heavy resource
commitment tofires locally.
