293 FNUS54 KMAF 030626 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 126 AM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024 .DISCUSSION... Fire weather concerns continue to remain low through the period with increasing moisture and modest 20-ft winds. Storm coverage will increase Thursday into the weekend as a cold front enters the area. While wetting rains are possible, lightning starts and gusty and erratic winds continue to be the biggest concern with any storms that develop. Much of the region is seeing ERC values above the 50th percentile and this will continue to increase until we see more widespread rains. Recovery will be moderate to excellent. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
