040 FNUS54 KMAF 071828 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 128 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 .DISCUSSION... Afternoon humidities fall below critical levels each day into early next week along/west of the Pecos River. While light winds curb any concerns of critical conditions, the dry air, above average temperatures, and very dry fuelscape could still support IA fires out west. There is a chance for a stray thunderstorm to form off the Davis Mountains and western high terrain nearly every afternoon through next week which could lead to occasional lighting starts, some storms could even feature dry lightning at times. A weak front brings temperatures back to near-normal for Monday along with some higher rainfall chances before we snap right back to the current pattern for the remainder of next week. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
