FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR THE MIDSOUTH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
330 AM CDT TUE OCT 27 2026
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST
MIDWEEK. THE LATEST ENERGY RELEASE COMPONENT IS FORECAST TO DROP
BELOW THE 90TH PERCENTILE ON WEDNESDAY, DUE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN
DEWPOINTS. THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR FOR FIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD
WILL
BE 20 FT WINDS, WHICH ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN BELOW 10 MPH. A
RANGELAND FIRE DANGER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TUESDAY. DRY
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WORKWEEK AND PATCHY FOG MAY
FORM EACH MORNING, ESPECIALLY IN LOW-LYING AREAS.
