Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
320 AM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Hot/humid conditions will continue through Wednesday as high
pressure remains over the area. As a result, dangerous heat stress
will be possible as temps reach the upper 90s/near 100 degrees
with heat indices ranging between 110-120 degrees. An isolated
shower/storm will be possible during the afternoon/early evening.
There are no fire weather concerns at this time. Widespread, dense
fog is not expected, however patchy fog will be possible across
our eastern fire zones early Wednesday morning.
