FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
254 AM CDT SUN MAY 10 2026
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS THE TRANS
PECOS, VAN HORN, MARFA PLATEAU, DAVIS MOUNTAINS, AND BIG BEND REGION.
THIS IS DUE TO MINRHS BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLDS (<15%) AND INCREASED
WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL ALSO SHIFT TO NORTHERLY WITH
THE COLD FRONT. HOWEVER, HAVE OPTED NOT TO ISSUE A RANGELAND FIRE
DANGER STATEMENT SINCE THE INCREASED WINDS AND CRITICAL MINRHS DON'T
LOOK TO OVERLAP WELL. THOUGH IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT DRY LIGHTNING
IS POSSIBLE AND COULD CAUSE A SPARK WITH ANY DRY THUNDERSTORMS.
WINDS THEN SHIFT TO EASTERLY BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING AND BECOME
LIGHTER, LOWERING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
