FNUS54 KMAF 191938 FWFMAF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for West Texas/Southeast New Mexico National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 238 PM CDT Tue May 19 2026 .DISCUSSION... The forecast remains relatively unchanged. A cold front has passed through today, shifting winds, and gradually bringing in cooler air. Locally elevated fire weather conditions remain generally west of the Pecos River due to critically low minRHs (below 10%) and dry fuels. However, Rain chances will be present, higher for areas east of the higher elevations, from today through the coming weekend. Some areas will see wetting rains and an overall improvement to the fuel landscape. && For point-specific forecasts please see the Point Fire Weather Matrix product issued by the Midland/Odessa National Weather Service Office.
