FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
226 PM CDT SUN MAY 24 2026
DISCUSSION
MIN RH NEAR TO BELOW CRITICAL 15% FROM SACRAMENTO FOOTHILLS INTO
CULBERSON COUNTY DOWN INTO THE PRESIDIO VALLEY WILL BE PRESENT
THIS AFTERNOON, BUT LIGHT, HUMID, UPSLOPE SOUTHEAST 20-FT WINDS
LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR, ERCS NEAR TO BELOW THE 50TH
PERCENTILE, AND NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL LIMIT FIRE RISK.
MORE WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AND SHOWER/STORM CHANCES WILL KEEP MIN RH
ABOVE CRITICAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY, BEFORE MIN RH NEAR TO BELOW
CRITICAL AGAIN RETURNS EACH AFTERNOON FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS TEMPERATURES SLOWLY TREND BACK TO ABOVE
AVERAGE. HOWEVER, APART FROM STRONG, ERRATIC WINDS AND LIGHTNING
CAUSING FIRE STARTS, FIRE RISK IS FORECAST TO REMAIN LOW.
