FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
149 PM CDT MON JUN 22 2026
DISCUSSION
THE FORECAST REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED AT THIS TIME. FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW OVERALL. ERCS STAY NEAR/BELOW THE
50TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF THE AREA, THOUGH SOME DRYING/CURING
HAS BEGUN IN OUR WESTERNMOST ZONES. DESPITE MINRHS NEAR/BELOW
CRITICAL LEVELS (ESPECIALLY FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA),
OCCASIONALLY BREEZY WINDS, AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, THESE
LOW ERCS WILL HELP MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR MOST.
HOWEVER, ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS COULD PRODUCE LIGHTNING
STARTS AND GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS. A WEEK OF TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS
OF 100 DEGREES WILL CONTINUE TO CURE FUELS AND COULD SET UP AN
INCREASING FIRE THREAT FOR EARLY JULY.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
