NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
140 AM CDT TUE MAY 26 2026
DISCUSSION
THE FORECAST REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED. LOW FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. THIS IS THANKS TO
LIGHT WINDS, MINRH MAINLY ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS, EXCELLENT
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES, AND INCREASED RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THIS
EVENING FOR MUCH OF THE REGION. ERCS WILL ALSO REMAIN NEAR TO
BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE. STRONG, ERRATIC WINDS AND LIGHTNING MAY
CAUSE FIRE STARTS, HOWEVER, FIRE SPREAD REMAINS VERY LOW GIVEN
INCREASED SURFACE MOISTURE AND RAIN CHANCES.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
