Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Arkansas...

.DISCUSSION...

Fair skies will cloud up around daybreak with some patchy fog, but
another warm day is on tap for the afternoon with low to mid 80s
for many locales. Maybe a few upper 70s still in south Arkansas as
the frontal boundary continues to lift northward out of our area.
Light south winds will ramp up again from the S and SW for much of
the daylight hours with some gustiness late morning through mid
afternoon. Min RH levels have been climbing and will bottom out by
mid afternoon in the 50 percent range for most of our area. And no
big changes for our late week rainfall, especially Thursday late
into early Friday. The front will pin the rain chances down along
and south over the weekend with some scattered activity lingering.
Then we look to ramp up with another upper low in the westerlies
pattern. We may see more rainfall east of I-49 with this secondary
passage.
