723 FNUS54 KMAF 080741 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 241 AM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024 .DISCUSSION... Less dry conditions are expected this afternoon as a cold front pushes into the area. This front could also trigger scattered thunderstorms across a large portion of the area. Gusty/erratic winds are likely near any storms and lightning starts are possible. For the remainder of the week, abundant summertime moisture and relatively light winds keep fire concerns low. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms remain possible each afternoon this week, primarily across the Davis Mountains and western high terrain. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
