FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
147 AM CDT SUN SEP 6 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE LOW THROUGH THE WEEK DUE TO RELATIVELY
LIGHT 20-FT WINDS AND MIN RH VALUES STAYING ABOVE CRITICAL
CRITERIA. OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD. SHOWERS AND STORMS
REMAIN POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING, MAINLY WEST OF THE PECOS.
ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY
GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. LIGHTNING MAY CAUSE SOME FIRE STARTS BUT
RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS SHOULD MITIGATE SPREAD. TEMPERATURES REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD, WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO DRY FUELS.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
