487 FNUS54 KMAF 201825 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 125 PM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024 .DISCUSSION... As a tropical disturbance passes to the south over northern Mexico, increased RH, clouds, and rain chances, especially west of the Pecos River, will keep fire risk low today. After Friday, rain chances will be confined to the Sacramento Foothills and Davis Mountains, with fire starts from lightning possible. Otherwise, despite warming temperatures after Friday, light winds, good overnight recovery, and min RH above critical 15% will prevent widespread fire weather conditions from developing this weekend into next week. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
