Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the MidSouth

330 PM CDT Fri Aug 22 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Cooler air will remain with limited fire weather concerns through
the period. MinRH will remain above 40% with 20 ft winds anywhere
between 5 to 10 knots.
However, minRH values will begin to fall below 40%, and
potentially further, next week as another shot of Canadian air
enters the region Sunday into Monday. Dewpoints are forecast to
drop below 60 for several days with some areas potentially falling
below 50. With the severity of drought increasing, this has lead
to drier fuels across the region. Winds will remain light, but
decreasing fuel and atmospheric moisture appear to be raising fire
weather concerns through next week.
