000 FNUS54 KMAF 192002 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 302 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024 .DISCUSSION... The cold front has pushed through a majority of the area, bringing increased humidity, cloud cover, and greatly reduced fire weather conditions. Wetting rains are possible for most beginning late this afternoon through early Sunday. Even for spots that miss out on rainfall, excellent moisture recovery occurring each night with daytime minimum humidity of at least 30-40 percent should help ERCs improve greatly the next several day. Gradual warming and drying early next week brings the return of critical humidity to our far western zones but light winds should curb any concerns. A few lightning strikes are possible in the Davis Mountains/Big Bend on Monday afternoon. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
