Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
213 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low as ERCs stay near or below the
50th percentile. Fuels in the region are near to above normal in
moisture. A few storms may develop over the mountains and adjacent
plains this afternoon and again tomorrow, leading to a potential
for lightning starts or outflows across western areas of the CWA
causing gusty and erratic winds. Very hot temperatures are
expected through Wednesday. Critical min RHs hold on for areas
west of the Pecos River Valley, but recoveries remain fair to
good.
