Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
232 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2024

.DISCUSSION...Good chances for widespread showers, along with a
few thunderstorms, will exist across the area each day through the
weekend. These rain chances, coupled with high humidity levels, and
light winds will combine to limit any fire weather danger across
the districts through at least Sunday. Patchy fog will be
possible across areas mainly along and south of the Interstate 20
corridor both Saturday and Sunday mornings, but dense fog is not
expected.
