FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
133 PM CDT THU JUN 19 2025
DISCUSSION
ERCS REMAIN BELOW THE 75TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF THE AREA APART
FROM HIGHER TERRAIN AND PORTIONS OF PERMIAN BASIN, WITH NEAR
NORMAL FUEL MOISTURE AND VEGETATION GREENERY LIMITING IGNITION AND
SPREAD OF FIRES. INCREASED MOISTURE ALLOWS DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS EACH DAY BEGINNING LATE THIS WEEKEND AND CONTINUING
INTO NEXT WEEK. NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND MIN RH ABOVE
CRITICAL 15% MAINTAIN LOW FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, STORMS
COULD STILL POSE THE RISK FOR FIRE STARTS FROM LIGHTNING AND
GUSTY, ERRATIC WINDS.
FOR POINT-SPECIFIC FORECASTS PLEASE SEE THE POINT FIRE WEATHER
MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE.
