URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
333 PM CDT Wed Apr 11 2018

...FRIDAY WILL BE A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION...

...RED FLAG WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR 
RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 15 PERCENT OR LESS, WINDS OF 20 MPH OR MORE, 
AND HIGH TO VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER FOR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS, 
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO, VAN HORN AND THE HIGHWAY 54 CORRIDOR, THE 
UPPER TRANS PECOS, MARFA PLATEAU, AND PRESIDIO VALLEY...

...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL AREAS THURSDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF VERY DRY AND VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS...

.Critical fire weather concerns across the west today will abate 
this evening. Critical to extreme conditions will expand Thursday
to include most all areas. Of special concern is the potential 
for the burn period to continue overnight into Friday morning 
across southeast New Mexico and the Trans Pecos. Friday's fire 
weather is forecast to be extreme in most areas with "historic" 
conditions from the parts of the Guadalupe Mountains to the Upper 
Trans Pecos to the Davis Mountains. There exists the potential for
fires to be resistant to control, especially on Friday, increasing
the likelihood for large fires.
