Fire weather concerns remain minimal through Columbus Day.

A general warming trend is in store through Columbas Day, but not enough to cause any significant fire weather concerns. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
