473 FNUS54 KMAF 210740 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 240 AM CDT Sat Sep 21 2024 .DISCUSSION... Low ERC values will keep the fire weather threat low the next week. Driest fuels are west of the Pecos River which did not get as much rainfall recently as areas farther east. Rain chances return this weekend and early next week so there higher fuel moisture may return before cooler temperatures halt the growing season. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
