Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
202 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Warmer than normal temperatures and low rain chances continue to
be expected through next week. Increasingly dry fuels coupled
with RH in the 25-35% range each afternoon will result in
increasing fire weather concerns day-over-day through the week,
mitigated to some degree by light winds. Neither widespread nor
dense fog is expected through the period though patchy, shallow
fog will be possible near dawn early Monday morning and early
Tuesday morning.
