NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
203 AM CDT SAT JUN 27 2026
DISCUSSION
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE
NEXT WEEK. ERCS STAY NEAR/BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF
THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL
DROP TO 10-15% EACH AFTERNOON, BUT WILL NOT COINCIDE WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS THAT ARE EXPECTED EACH EVENING. ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE TEMPERATURES
FALL CLOSER TO NORMAL EARLY NEXT WEEK. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
STORMS COULD PRODUCE DRY LIGHTNING STARTS AND GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS,
PARTICULARLY FOR AREAS WEST OF THE PECOS RIVER VALLEY.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
