NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1237 PM CDT FRI JUN 5 2026
DISCUSSION
MIN RH AND GOOD OVERNIGHT RECOVERY PERSIST TODAY INTO TOMORROW
WITH THE UNSETTLED AND HUMID WEATHER PATTERN. MIN RH BELOW
CRITICAL 15% RETURNS OVER THE PRESIDIO VALLEY INTO SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO LATER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT LIGHT 20-FT
WINDS WEST OF A DIFFUSE DRYLINE AND FUEL ERCS BELOW THE 50TH
PERCENTILE WILL LIMIT FIRE RISK. INCREASED SHOWER/STORM CHANCES
BY THE MIDDLE INTO END OF THE WEEK OVER THE MARFA PLATEAU MAY
INCREASE THE CHANCE OF FIRE STARTS FROM LIGHTNING AND STRONG,
ERRATIC WINDS, BUT OTHERWISE FIRE RISK WILL STAY LOW AS MIN RH
BELOW CRITICAL AND 20-FT WINDS CONSISTENTLY ABOVE 20 MILES PER
HOUR DO NOT OVERLAP.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
