FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR S MS AND SE LA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
539 AM CDT MON MAR 23 2026
DISCUSSION
WARM AND LIKELY DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE FORECAST.
THERE WILL BE A WEAK FRONT TONIGHT WHICH WILL BRING SLIGHTLY
DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION BUT MIN RH VALUES ARE STILL EXPECTED TO
BE IN THE 40 TO LOWER 50 PERCENT RANGE TUESDAY. MOISTURE WILL
SLOWLY RETURN THROUGH THE WEEK BUT WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS EXPECTED
TO CLIMB HIGHER FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK THOSE MIN RH
VALUES MAY EVEN DROP INTO THE UPPER 30 PERCENT RANGE OVER
SOUTHWEST MS AND ADJACENT LOUISIANA PARISHES. WINDS WILL BE ON
THE LIGHTER SIDE THROUGH THE FORECAST SO NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS EXPECTED.
