333 FNUS54 KMAF 311941 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX Issued by National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM 241 PM CDT Fri May 31 2024 .DISCUSSION... Elevated fire weather conditions are forecast over the far western regions each day, mainly west of the dry-line for the higher terrain west of the Pecos River, especially Eddy County Plains and the Guadalupe Mountains. Min RH 10-15% will coincide with increased 20ft winds each afternoon west of the dry-line, with ERCS remaining above the 90th percentile. In any storms occurring Saturday afternoon, fire starts from lightning will be possible as far west as the Sacramento Foothills due to critically dry fuels and lack of wetting rains in any storms. However, below average fuel density will constrain fire risk. Highest risk of fire weather conditions is indicated for Sunday through Wednesday as min RH lowers all zones. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
