FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
219 AM CDT WED JUN 24 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW OVERALL. ERCS STAY NEAR/BELOW
THE 50TH PERCENTILE FOR MOST OF THE AREA. ERCS HAVE INCREASED TO
THE 50-74TH PERCENTILE ACROSS PORTIONS OF FAR WEST TEXAS AND
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO DUE TO CURING FROM HOT AND MOSTLY DRY
CONDITIONS. DESPITE MINRHS NEAR/BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS (ESPECIALLY
FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA), OCCASIONAL BREEZY WINDS, AND
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS, THESE LOW ERCS WILL HELP MITIGATE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS FOR MOST. HOWEVER, ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS COULD
PRODUCE LIGHTNING STARTS 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.
