871 FNUS54 KMAF 191950 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 250 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2024 .DISCUSSION... Fire concerns stay very low through the middle part of next week with a fairly wet and cool pattern taking shape through the weekend and into early next week. Good humidity and relatively light winds are keeping RFTIs at zero with precipitation chances increasing each day through Monday/Tuesday. Embedded thunderstorms within the expected precipitation could pose a risk for fire starts and could produce gusty/erratic winds, but will also provide much needed wetting rains to the region. The forecast begins trending warmer/drier come Wednesday/Thursday next week. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
