Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
306 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Hot temperatures can be expected this weekend into the middle part
of the upcoming week. A few showers and thunderstorms will remain
possible today and Sunday, mainly across the mountains and into
the Big Bend region. Fire weather concerns will continue to
remain low through the next several days as ERCs stay below the
50th percentile across much of the region. Minimum RH values will
fall into the teens west of the Pecos River Valley over the next
few days, but overnight recoveries will be fair to good with 20
foot winds remaining on the lighter side.
