674 FNUS54 KMAF 221853 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 153 PM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 .DISCUSSION... Below normal temperatures today into mid week along with good overnight recovery, min RH above critical 15%, and recent wetting rains keeping ERCs low are all expected to keep fire weather conditions low. Lightning and gusty erratic winds in showers and storms this week may still produce fire starts in drier fuels, especially west of the Pecos River where less rain has fallen in the last few weeks compared to farther east. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
