244 FNUS54 KMAF 231918 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 218 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2024 .DISCUSSION... While highs climb above average early this week, light winds, min RH above critical 15%, good overnight recovery, and recent rains keep widespread fire weather conditions from developing. Isolated storms over the Sacramento Foothills and Davis Mountains each afternoon could pose a risk of fire starts from lightning and gusty, erratic winds over critically dry fuels. Next weekend, cooler temperatures and monsoonal moisture increases rain chances over higher terrain of West Texas into Southeast New Mexico, but any accumulations are expected to remain small and spotty in coverage, apart from over the Sacramento Foothills. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
