FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
131 PM CDT SAT JUN 6 2026
DISCUSSION
MIN RH REMAINS ABOVE CRITICAL 15% TODAY WITH SHOWERS/STORMS IN
THE AREA. FIRE STARTS FROM LIGHTNING AND STRONG, ERRATIC WINDS ARE
STILL POSSIBLE, BUT FUEL ERCS BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE WILL TEND
TO LIMIT FIRE SPREAD. MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES LATE WEEKEND INTO
NEXT WEEK WILL SLOWLY INCREASE ERCS, BUT IN REGIONS WEST OF
WESTERN HIGHER TERRAIN APART FROM MOUNTAIN PEAKS, MIN RH BELOW
CRITICAL IS NOT LIKELY TO OVERLAP WITH 20-FT WINDS ABOVE 20 MILES
PER HOUR. THEREFORE, FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO
REMAIN LOW.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
