FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1147 AM CST FRI FEB 6 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW. ALTHOUGH ERCS ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE WITHIN THE 50TH TO 89TH PERCENTILE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION,
NEAR TO ABOVE CRITICAL MINRHS AND LIGHT 20-FT WINDS MITIGATE
CONCERNS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK
AND WILL AID IN CURING FINER FUELS. RAIN CHANCES INCREASE LATE
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AND
COVERAGE DO NOT LOOK TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE FUEL MOISTURE.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
