Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
145 AM CDT Wed Jun 25 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low through next week. However,
gusty/erratic winds and lighting associated with thunderstorms will
pose risks of some sparks mainly west of the Pecos River. Though
abundant rainfall should mitigate spread. ERCs generally remain
below the 50th percentile (except for a few areas closer to the 75th
percentile in the Permian Basin/Lower Trans-Pecos) and RHs well
above critical thresholds.
