FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
228 PM CDT MON MAY 25 2026
DISCUSSION
THE FORECAST REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED. LOW FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. THIS IS THANKS TO LIGHT
WINDS, MINRH MAINLY ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS, EXCELLENT OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES, AND INCREASED RAIN CHANCES BEGINNING TONIGHT LASTING
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT FOR MUCH OF THE REGION. ERCS WILL ALSO REMAIN
NEAR TO BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE. STRONG, ERRATIC WINDS AND
LIGHTNING MAY CAUSE FIRE STARTS, HOWEVER, FIRE SPREAD REMAINS VERY
LOW GIVEN INCREASED SURFACE MOISTURE AND RAIN CHANCES.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
