Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
147 PM CST Sat Nov 15 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns generally remain low through the first part
of next week. Higher ERCs will not be coincident w/increased RFTIs
at this time. The best days for elevated/critical fire weather looks
to be Sunday/Monday, when 20-ft winds increase in the Guadalupes and
adjacent areas. Though concerns will be mitigated by above critical
MinRH values in these areas. Recovery overnight will be poor in the
lee of the Davis Mountains and Big Bend Area, but moderate to excellent
elsewhere.

Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather
Service Office.
