FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
144 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW OVERALL. ERCS STAY NEAR/BELOW
THE 50TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER, SOME CURING
HAS BEGUN IN OUR WESTERNMOST ZONES AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO
GIVEN PERSISTENT HOT AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. DESPITE MINRHS
NEAR/BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS (ESPECIALLY FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE AREA), OCCASIONALLY BREEZY WINDS, AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS,
THESE LOW ERCS WILL HELP MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR MOST.
HOWEVER, ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS COULD PRODUCE LIGHTNING
STARTS AND GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
