Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
345 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Locally elevated fire weather conditions are possible, mainly this
weekend and 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 and Monday, when
20-ft winds increase in the Guadalupes and adjacent areas.
Relative humidity will bottom out at 11-37% this afternoon, and
11-41% Saturday. Recovery overnight will be poor in the lee of
the mountains, as well as parts of the Presidio Valley, but
moderate to excellent elsewhere.

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