446 FNUS54 KMAF 180709 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 209 AM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024 .DISCUSSION... Big changes in the weather will continue to keep fire weather concerns low as rain chances increase and temperatures cool below normal. RHs remain above critical levels, winds stay generally light, and we have several opportunities for rain. Storms will pose a risk of fire starts from lightning and will contain gusty, erratic winds. This pattern could take us into the middle of next week before we see warmer and drier conditions. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
