Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
226 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather conditions are possible over and near the
Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains Monday as a Pac front brings gusty
winds to the area. However, higher ERCs will not be coincident
w/increased RFTIs at this time. MinRH values will also generally
remain above critical thresholds Monday. Thunderstorms are forecast
later this week and may be accompanied by gusty and erratic winds.
