NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
125 PM CDT MON JUL 6 2026
DISCUSSION
THE FORECAST REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED. DESPITE VERY WARM
TEMPERATURES UP TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS AND ERCS IN THE 50TH TO 74TH
PERCENTILE, MIN RH ABOVE CRITICAL 15%, GOOD OVERNIGHT RECOVERY, AND
LIGHT 20-FT SOUTHEAST, HUMID, UPSLOPE WINDS WILL MAINTAIN LOW FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. FIRE STARTS FROM LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY,
ERRATIC WINDS MAY STILL LEAD TO IGNITIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR REGIONS
WITH HIGHER STORMS CHANCES SUCH AS HIGHER TERRAIN, BUT LIGHT WINDS
ARE STILL EXPECTED TO LIMIT FIRE SPREAD. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASED RAIN CHANCES NEXT WEEKEND WILL LIKELY PROLONG LOW FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
