368 FNUS54 KMAF 120728 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 228 AM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 .DISCUSSION... Fire weather concerns are low the next seven days. This afternoon, a few storms are possible over the Guadalupe Mountains, Sacramento Foothills, and Davis Mountains, where lightning could pose concern for fire starts, lending to increased IA potential. Erratic gusty winds are possible near any storms, but fortunately outside of storms, 20ft winds will be light. Critical RHs will be confined to far western areas through Friday, expanding eastward beginning Saturday as temperatures warm further, though light 20ft winds for the duration mitigate fire weather concerns. Recovery will be fair to good west, and good to very good east through the weekend. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
