Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
120 PM CST Sat Nov 29 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns are minimal. A strong front arrives late today
bringing well below normal temperatures Sunday with a hard freeze
expected for many locations. We warm by midweek with another front
late in the week. The forecast remains dry until late week when a
low chance (10-30%) of rain enters the picture. ERCs remain below
the 50th percentile, min RHs remain above critical thresholds, and
RH recovery overnight will be good to excellent through the period.

Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather
Service Office.
