.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 107 AM CDT Sat Aug 23 2025

Through Sunday:

Relatively drier air continues to advance into the region. The
drier airmass will still allow for seasonably warm days through
this weekend, but it will also make for pleasantly cooler
mornings. No heat stress issues are anticipated, with heat indices
remaining below 100 in most areas even in the middle of day.
Closer to the front, there will still be potential for isolated to
scattered diurnal convection, across areas like central LA, south
MS, and far east MS.

Monday through Thursday:

A reinforcing front will move across the area Sunday night into
Monday, bringing a more substantial push of dry air along with a
bit of a drop in temperature. By Tuesday and Wednesday, high temps
below 90 will become more common, and most areas will have
morning lows in the 60s. A few cooler spots in north MS could even
touch the upper 50s by Thursday morning. Rain chances will be
quite limited by Monday, though isolated shower chances may return
later in the week. With the increasing dryness, we will need to
pay greater attention to fire weather concerns. Daytime RHs are
forecast to fall as low as the 25-30 pct in some areas by Monday,
and with stronger mixing in the dry conditions, winds could become
a relevant factor. Otherwise, no other hazards are on the horizon
in the long term portion of the forecast.
