Hazy conditions, smell of smoke across Houston due to west Texas wildfires
Winds overnight shifted out of the northwest, bringing the thick air from just under a dozen fires that are burning primarily in west Texas.
That fire consumed multiple structures in Ranger, Texas, overnight, including the police department building and a 100-year-old church there.
By 7 a.m. winds out of the northwest were blowing into the Houston area at around 15 mph.
Conditions were impacting some aviation operations in the region, though no commercial delays were reported at Bush or Hobby airports.
