NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
131 AM CST FRI DEC 19 2025
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW TODAY BEFORE THEY BECOME ELEVATED
ON SATURDAY. THIS IS DUE TO RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES DRIVING DOWN
AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES BELOW 15 PERCENT AND A SLIGHT INCREASE IN
20FT WINDS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT
ENOUGH TO PREVENT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM
DEVELOPING. FUEL MOISTURE WILL RANGE IN THE 26-50TH PERCENTILE,
BEFORE DECREASING NEAR THE 25TH PERCENTILE ON SATURDAY.
