Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
142 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns are minimal through the period. Winds become
gusty Saturday, particularly in the Guadalupe/Delaware Mountains.
However, these winds do not overlap critical min RHs. Otherwise,
ERCs remain near or below the 50th percentile and overnight
recoveries are generally good through the period, which will help
limit fire weather conditions.
For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather
Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather
Service Office.
