NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
137 PM CDT FRI JUN 19 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW OVERALL. ERCS STAY NEAR/BELOW THE
50TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF THE AREA, WITH SOME DRYING/CURING IN OUR
WESTERNMOST ZONES BY SUNDAY. DESPITE MINRHS NEAR/BELOW CRITICAL
LEVELS (ESPECIALLY BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND) AND OCCASIONALLY
BREEZY WINDS, THESE LOW ERCS WILL HELP MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS FOR MOST LOCATIONS. HOWEVER, ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS
COULD PRODUCE LIGHTNING STARTS AND GUSTY/ERRATIC WINDS. OTHERWISE,
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL BE FAIR TO GOOD THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
