117 FNUS54 KMAF 142017 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 317 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024 .DISCUSSION... Minimum afternoon humidity falls to critical levels along/west of the Pecos River each afternoon through Tuesday however, light winds limit fire potential to IA at best. This is exaggerated by the risk of lightning starts as isolated storms are possible each afternoon in and around the Davis Mountains. Overnight recovery is good out west and very good to the east but better moisture and hopefully some wetting rains arrives with a likely pattern change mid-late next week. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
