Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
419 AM CDT Thu Jul 4 2024

.DISCUSSION... Continued elevated humidity is expected to keep fire
weather concerns low through the forecast period. A drying front
Friday will likely result in somewhat lower humidity and rain
chances into the weekend but will still generally be humid with
afternoon RH minimums still remaining above 40% amid light winds.
Patchy morning fog will be possible especially in areas that
receive afternoon rains the preceding day, but widespread dense
fog is not expected.
