Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
438 AM CST Sun Jan 19 2025

.DISCUSSION... A cold front that moved across the area late
Saturday and the Arctic airmass that is currently moving in has
resulted in much colder temperatures following fairly widespread
wetting rains. Additional precipitation is expected on Tuesday
likely in the form of snow. Despite gusty north winds,
precipitation and cold weather will thus keep fire danger low.
Widespread dense fog is not expected.
