290 FNUS54 KMAF 061942 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 242 PM CDT Sat Jul 6 2024 .DISCUSSION... Low fire weather concerns will be present today as appreciable summertime moisture remains in place. Sunday, warmer than average temperatures and min RH falling below critical 15% over Southeast New Mexico plains along with gusty 20ft winds introduce some risk of elevated fire weather conditions for this region. However, RFTIs are expected to stay low, so this will limit risk. Monday into next weekend, min RH above critical, good overnight recovery, and continued light winds keep fire weather concerns low outside of storms over the western higher terrain, which could pose a risk of fire starts from lightning and gusty, erratic winds. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
