Fire Weather Planning Forecast for S MS and SE LA

.DISCUSSION...

As high pressure dominates the region though into next week, we
will see temperatures above average with daytime highs well into
the 90s and overnight lows in the upper 70s. Drought conditions
have depleted fuel moisture and rain will continue to be very
difficult to come by after Friday for many areas outside a stray
shower or thunderstorm during peak heating hours. Lowest daily RH
values will remain in the mid 40 to 60% range through the week.
