NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
136 AM CDT SAT JUN 20 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 SUNDAY. 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. OTHERWISE,
OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL BE FAIR TO GOOD THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
