Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
427 AM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024

.DISCUSSION...No fire weather concerns are expected through the
end of this week. Increasing humidity will lead to both increased
rain chances as well as concerns for dangerous heat. Best rain
chances today and Thursday will be in southeastern and eastern
Mississippi zones, though areas to the north and west should at
least have a slight chance for showers and storms both days.
Widespread dense fog development is not expected this morning or
tonight, but rain this afternoon and evening could increase the
chance for patchy fog in some zones.
