NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
141 AM CST FRI DEC 5 2025
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE MINIMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS BECOME
GUSTY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, PARTICULARLY IN THE GUADALUPE/DELAWARE
MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER, THESE WINDS DO NOT OVERLAP CRITICAL MIN RHS.
OTHERWISE, ERCS REMAIN NEAR OR BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE AND
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD, WHICH WILL HELP LIMIT FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
