FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
230 AM CDT SUN JUN 21 2026
DISCUSSION
THE FORECAST REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED AT THIS TIME. 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 TODAY. 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. A WEEK OF
TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 100 DEGREES WILL GREATLY CURE FUELS AND
COULD SET UP AN INCREASING FIRE THREAT FOR EARLY JULY.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
