NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
309 AM CDT WED SEP 27 2023
DISCUSSION
PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE KEEPS MINIMUM DAYTIME HUMIDITY ABOVE
20-30 PERCENT, ESPECIALLY BY THIS WEEKEND. THIS PAIRED WITH LIGHT
WINDS AND LOW ERCS KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LOW THROUGH NEXT
WEEK. OVERNIGHT RECOVERY IS EXCELLENT, WITH HUMIDITY RISING TO
70-80+ PERCENT EACH NIGHT. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
EACH AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH TERRAIN. GUSTY
AND ERRATIC WINDS ALONG WITH LIGHTNING STARTS WILL BE A CONCERN.
