FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
108 AM CST WED FEB 4 2026
DISCUSSION
MIN RH REMAINS MARGINAL AND NEAR CRITICAL 15% THROUGH EARLY THIS
WEEKEND AS OVERNIGHT RECOVERY BECOMES MORE VARIABLE AND FAIR TO
POOR OVER THE SOUTHERN RIO GRANDE BASIN, RESULTING IN RFTIS
INCREASING TO THE 3-4 RANGE FOR DRIER, FREEZE CURED FUELS OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN. HOWEVER, 20-FT WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT, SO FIRE
RISK REMAINS LOW. INCREASED CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES LATE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ALLOWS MIN RH TO RISE ABOVE CRITICAL,
OVERNIGHT RECOVERY TO IMPROVE AREAWIDE, AND A SLIGHT COOLING
TREND IN HIGH TEMPERATURES TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, BREEZY
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS AND ERCS AT AND ABOVE THE 50TH TO 74TH
PERCENTILE MAINTAIN AN ELEVATED WIND-DRIVEN FIRE RISK.
