FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
120 PM CDT TUE JUN 9 2026
DISCUSSION
MIN RH BELOW CRITICAL 15% WILL DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON FROM TODAY
THROUGH THURSDAY FROM THE PRESIDIO VALLEY INTO GUADALUPES AND
SACRAMENTO FOOTHILLS AND EAST INTO THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
PLAINS. HOWEVER, FUEL ERCS WILL REMAIN BELOW 50% AND 20-FT WINDS
WILL LARGELY STAY BELOW 20 MILES PER HOUR IN REGIONS WHERE MIN RH
DECREASES BELOW CRITICAL. THEREFORE, APART FROM FIRE STARTS FROM
LIGHTNING AND STRONG, ERRATIC WINDS, FIRE RISK WILL STAY LOW EVEN
WITH ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED
SHOWER/STORM CHANCES BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK - ALONG WITH CONTINUED LIGHT 20-FT WINDS
BELOW 20 MILES PER HOUR WILL SLOW DOWN FUEL DRYING AND ALLOW LOW
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO PERSIST.
