Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
234 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Overall fire weather concerns will be low to the east of the Davis
Mountains as wetting rains and continued high RHs keep fuels from
drying. To the west, elevated to near critical conditions will
continue over the coming days as min RHs bottom out in the single
digits. Winds will remain on the lighter side.
