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

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

...A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL AREAS THURSDAY 
THROUGH FRIDAY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF VERY DRY AND VERY 
WINDY CONDITIONS...

.Critical to extreme conditions will expand Thursday to include 
most all areas. Of 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.
