Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
313 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Minimum relative humidities will be in the teens and twenties
through the end of the week elevating the fire weather threat
though light to modest winds will prevent critical fire weather
conditions from developing. Isolated to widely scattered
thunderstorms west of the Davis Mountains will make lightning
fire starts possible especially with dry fuels. Rain chances
increase across the entire area Sunday as a cold front moves into
the area.
