FNUS54 KMAF 210730 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 230 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2026 .DISCUSSION... The forecast remains relatively unchanged at this time. Fire weather concerns remain low overall. ERCs stay near/below the 50th percentile for most of the area, with some drying/curing in our westernmost zones by today. Despite MinRHs near/below critical levels (especially by the end of the weekend) and occasionally breezy winds, these low ERCs will help mitigate fire weather concerns for most locations. However, isolated to scattered storms could produce lightning starts and gusty/erratic winds. A week of temperatures in excess of 100 degrees will greatly cure fuels and could set up an increasing fire threat for early July. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
