FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
143 PM CDT SUN JUN 21 2026
DISCUSSION
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) AND
OCCASIONALLY BREEZY WINDS, THESE LOW ERCS WILL HELP MITIGATE FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS FOR MOST LOCATIONS. HOWEVER, ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
STORMS COULD PRODUCE LIGHTNING STARTS AND GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS. A
WEEK OF TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES WILL GREATLY 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.
