300 FNUS54 KMAF 211907 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 207 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2024 .DISCUSSION... Light winds and good overnight recovery should limit fire risk today into next week. While warmer conditions will develop Saturday into next week, light winds, min RH above critical and recent rains will 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. Later this week, a dryline could pass through westernmost regions, with min RH Thursday and Friday next week dropping near critical. However, light winds, sparse fuels and good overnight recovery is still expected to limit fire risk. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
