Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
312 PM 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 through late week. 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 chance for isolated to scattered showers
and storms both days. Frontal boundary late week into weekend will
bring increased coverage of rain and storms. Widespread dense fog
development is not expected tonight or Thursday night, but rain
this afternoon and evening and again Thursday could increase the
chance for patchy fog in some zones.
