536 FNUS54 KMAF 191858 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 158 PM CDT Wed Jun 19 2024 .DISCUSSION... Elevated fire weather conditions are expected today from the Sacramento Foothills and Eddy County plains into the Presidio Vally and Big Bend. Due to increased 20-ft winds, RFTIs up to 4 will be present this afternoon over the Sacramento Foothills into the Eddy County plains, however, min RH should stay above critical 15% and no fire weather products are anticipated. An increase in moisture from remnants of Tropical Storm Alberto Thursday into the end of this week will present chance of wetting rains mainly west of the Pecos River. Saturday and onward, storm chances over the Sacramento Foothills and Davis Mountains could pose a risk of fire starts from lightning, otherwise light winds and min RH above critical will limit fire risk. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
