Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
433 AM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather will continue across the region through the end of
the work week. Afternoon minimum relative humidity values will
continue to hover between 30-40% each day through Thursday, but
moisture will begin increasing Friday into Saturday. This will
occur ahead of a cold front that`ll bring some much needed
rainfall to the area late Saturday afternoon into Sunday as the
front pushes through. Despite the low humidity values today &
Thursday afternoon, winds will not be as breezy those days. Other
than some patchy shallow ground fog this morning and Thursday
mornings, dense fog is not expected.
