FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR S MS AND SE LA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
537 AM CDT TUE OCT 20 2026
DISCUSSION
DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK WITH NEAR ZERO RAIN
CHANCES THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. A GRADUAL DAYTIME
WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDWEEK, BUT DEWPOINTS WILL
NOT SEE MUCH RECOVERY THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. THIS WILL RESULT
IN A GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND IN AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. EXPECT RELATIVE HUMIDITY TO FALL TO NEAR
OR BELOW 30 PERCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA
THROUGH TUESDAY, WITH THE LOW VALUES SPREADING ACROSS EVEN MOST
SOUTHERN AREAS BY WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY. THOUGH LIGHTER WINDS
WILL KEEP US BELOW RED FLAG WARNING CRITERIA, THERE WILL STILL BE
AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR FAST FIRE GROWTH OWING TO THE LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND DRIER THAN NORMAL FUELS ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA.
