National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
241 AM CDT Thu Jun 27 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Low fire weather concerns will continue into next week. Afternoon
min RHs will remain above critical levels with fairly light winds.
Daily storm chances will be confined to areas west of the Pecos
River for the most part. While wetting rains are possible,
lightning and gusty erratic winds are a threat with any storm.
Rain chances expand to the northern Permian Basin Saturday before
we dry out next week. Recovery overnights will be moderate to
excellent.
