Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
257 PM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Limited fire weather concerns in the coming week as 20ft winds
remain light through the period, and humidity only falls to critical
levels in the afternoons across the far west. Dry and warm
conditions will prevail, but isolated storm chances off the Davis
Mountains each afternoon may bring a dry lightning threat. Still,
any fires that start won`t be accompanied by strong winds or
extremely low humidity, and overnight recoveries will be good to
very good.
