Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
144 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns are generally low. Above-average temperatures
redevelop after today. Min RHs drop to near/below 15% starting
Tuesday and continuing through the rest of the week, especially west
of the Pecos. Breezy winds help yield Elevated conditions tomorrow,
mainly in Southeast New Mexico and in the Sacramento and Guadalupe
Mts. Otherwise, fire weather conditions remain low to near-Elevated
due to lighter winds, despite widespread ERCs in the 50-74th
percentile (75-89th in the Big Bend and Lower Trans-Pecos).
