FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
134 PM CDT SUN SEP 6 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE LOW THROUGH THIS WEEK DUE TO RELATIVELY
LIGHT 20-FT WINDS AND MIN RH VALUES STAYING ABOVE CRITICAL CRITERIA.
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD OVERALL. SHOWERS AND STORMS REMAIN
POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING, MAINLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN WEST
OF THE PECOS. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP MAY BE ACCOMPANIED
BY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. LIGHTNING MAY CAUSE SOME FIRE STARTS BUT
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS SHOULD MITIGATE SPREAD. TEMPERATURES REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD, WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO DRY FUELS.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
