FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1207 PM CST SAT FEB 7 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW. ERCS SHALL RANGE WITHIN THE
50TH TO 89TH PERCENTILE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION, WITH NEAR TO A
TOUCH BELOW CRITICAL MINRH VALUES. HOWEVER, THESE WILL BE OFFSET BY
LIGHT WINDS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEK AND WILL AID IN CURING FINER FUELS. RAIN CHANCES
INCREASE EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AND COVERAGE DO
NOT LOOK TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE FUEL MOISTURE THOUGH IT COULD BRIEFLY
DELAY FURTHER CURING.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
