FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WEST TEXAS/SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1242 AM CST SAT FEB 7 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW. ALTHOUGH ERCS ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE WITHIN THE 50TH TO 89TH PERCENTILE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION, NEAR TO ABOVE CRITICAL MINRHS AND LIGHT 20-FT WINDS
MITIGATE CONCERNS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NEXT WEEK AND WILL AID IN CURING FINER FUELS. RAIN CHANCES
INCREASE LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS AND COVERAGE DO NOT LOOK TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE FUEL
MOISTURE THOUGH IT COULD BRIEFLY DELAY FURTHER CURING.

MATRIX PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE MIDLAND/ODESSA NATIONAL WEATHER
