473 FNUS54 KMAF 300654 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 154 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024 .DISCUSSION... Even with warmer than average temperatures, min RH at or below critical 15% west of the Pecos River and TX/NM border, no measurable rain chances into next week and gusty winds possible Tuesday, fire weather conditions remain low as ERCs remain at or below the 50th percentile from wetting rains in late August and early September. Good overnight recovery and relatively light winds outside of frontal passages will keep fire risk low, even as ERCs increase as fuels dry out in the warmer and drier than average weather. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
