Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
254 AM CDT Sat Jun 22 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will remain low through the upcoming week.
While temperatures trend upward the next few days, light winds,
min RH above critical levels and recent rains will keep
widespread fire weather conditions from developing. Isolated
storms over the Sacramento Foothills and Davis Mountains each
afternoon could pose a risk of fire starts from lightning and
gusty, erratic winds. By midweek, a weak front could bring a
better chance for scattered storms.
