Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
252 PM CDT Thu Jul 18 2024

.DISCUSSION... Scattered showers over the next several days will
be accompanied by seasonably high humidity and generally light
winds. This will result in low fire weather risk. Patchy,
generally early morning fog will be possible but cloud cover and
shower activity will likely result in low risks for widespread
dense fog.
