Weather History

The lowest temperature reading for North America of -81 degrees was set at Snag, Yukon Territory on February 2, 1947. This value was in jeopardy on this date in 1982 when a reading of -96 degrees was recorded along an Alaskan highway west of Ft. Nelson, British Columbia. While this reading is considered accurate, it was not made official.

Fire Weather Watch


... Fire Weather Watch in effect Friday afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Midland/Odessa has issued a Fire
Weather Watch... which is in effect Friday afternoon.

Windy conditions with 20 foot winds potentially exceeding 20 mph
are possible Friday afternoon as low pressure moves east across
Oklahoma. Additionally a very warm and dry west flow will drop
relative humidity in the watch area to below 15 percent resulting
in the potential for critical fire weather conditions in the
afternoon.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Do not throw cigarettes onto the ground or out of a moving
vehicle. Keep vehicles on driving surfaces... and do not drive
through tall grass. Avoid activities that may produce outdoor
flames or Sparks. Accidental ignitions will have the potential to
grow rapidly into dangerous... wind-driven wildfires.
