Key takeaway Strongest winds are expected across the Permian Basin and southeast New Mexico where wind gusts 30+ mph will be possible through the day.
Why this matters in The Midland
For Midland residents, the forecasted hot and breezy day with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms means outdoor plans should be made with caution. With high temperatures expected to reach 95 degrees, heat exhaustion and dehydration are concerns, especially for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and young children. The possibility of strong to severe storms, although low, still warrants attention, and residents should stay informed about weather updates. The isolated threat of flooding and flash flooding across parts of West Texas and southeast New Mexico is also a concern for commuters and travelers. As the Fourth of July weekend approaches, Midland's outdoor celebrations and events will need to be planned with the forecast in mind, taking into account the warm temperatures and slight rain and storm chances. Residents can expect a relatively quiet start to the weekend, but should be prepared for better rain and storm chances in the second half of the weekend and into the start of the new week.
