NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
251 AM CST FRI FEB 13 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE LOW OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A STORM
SYSTEM BRINGS INCREASED RAIN CHANCES AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES
TO THE AREA TODAY AND SATURDAY. MINRH VALUES SHALL REMAIN ABOVE
CRITICAL THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER, DRIER AND BREEZY TO
WINDY CONDITIONS LOOK TO DEVELOP TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS, AS
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES. MINRH'S THROUGH MOST OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK LOOK TO FALL NEAR TO BELOW CRITICAL VALUES. THIS WILL POSE A RISK
FOR ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER REGIONS THAT ARE LIKELY TO
MISS OUT ON WETTING RAINS THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL OF COURSE REQUIRE
FURTHER MONITORING OVER THE COMING DAYS.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
