NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
321 AM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
DISCUSSION
DESPITE VERY WARM TEMPERATURES UP TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS OR HIGHER
AND ERCS IN THE 50TH TO 74TH PERCENTILE AND INCREASING, MIN RH
ABOVE CRITICAL 15%, GOOD OVERNIGHT RECOVERY, AND LIGHT 20-FT
SOUTHEAST, HUMID, UPSLOPE WINDS WILL MAINTAIN LOW FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS. FIRE STARTS FROM LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY, ERRATIC
WINDS MAY STILL LEAD TO IGNITIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR REGIONS WITH
HIGHER STORMS CHANCES SUCH AS HIGHER TERRAIN, BUT LIGHT WINDS ARE
STILL EXPECTED TO LIMIT FIRE SPREAD. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASED RAIN CHANCES NEXT WEEKEND WILL LIKELY PROLONG LOW FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
