.DISCUSSION...
Hot and dry conditions will persist across the Mid-South. Minimum
relative humidity values teeter around 35-40% tomorrow as
moisture gradually increases. 20 ft winds will be light through
the fire weather period, likely keeping fire weather concerns at
a minimum. Our next shot at wetting rain returns Thursday ahead
of a cold front.
