Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
233 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025
.DISCUSSION...
No changes from the previous forecast. Fire weather concerns
remain minimal heading into next week due to recent wetting
rains, minRHs above critical thresholds, and generally light
winds (outside of gusty, erratic winds with any thunderstorms
that may develop). RH recoveries overnight will be good to
excellent.
