FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
147 AM CDT FRI SEP 4 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW THROUGH NEXT WEEK, MAINLY DUE TO
RELATIVELY LIGHT 20-FT WINDS AND MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
STAYING ABOVE CRITICAL CRITERIA EACH AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES WILL BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING, MAINLY WEST OF THE PECOS.
ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP MAY BE ACCOMPANIED
BY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. LIGHTNING MAY CAUSE SOME FIRE STARTS
BUT RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS SHOULD MITIGATE SPREAD.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
