FIRE DANGER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
216 PM CST TUE FEB 27 2024
..ELEVATED WILDFIRE THREAT WEDNESDAY
THE THREAT FOR WILDFIRES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED ON WEDNESDAY ACROSS
MUCH OF ARKANSAS. RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS FORECAST TO DROP BELOW 30
PERCENT FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRE STATE WITH BREEZY NORTH TO NORTH-
NORTHWEST WINDS THAT WILL GUST TO 30 TO OVER 40 MPH AT TIMES,
ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS. IN ADDITION, FINER FUELS
SUCH AS GRASSES AND SHRUBS REMAIN QUITE DRY AND WILL READILY CARRY
SURFACE FIRE.
WHILE CURRENT FORECAST PARAMETERS REMAIN JUST SHORT OF RED FLAG
CRITERIA, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME AREAS WILL NEED TO BE UPGRADED
TO A RED FLAG WARNING AT SOME POINT, ESPECIALLY IF OBSERVED
HUMIDITY VALUES END UP BEING BELOW FORECAST VALUES. SOME
IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WINDS SUBSIDE,
ALTHOUGH HUMIDITY VALUES AND FUEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN CRITICALLY
LOW.
THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FORESTRY DIVISION HAS ALMOST
ALL OF THE STATE IN A MODERATE TO HIGH WILDFIRE DANGER AT THIS TIME.
PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION IF ANY TYPE OF OPEN FLAME WILL BE USED TODAY.
IF A WILDFIRE IS OBSERVED...REPORT IT BY DIALING 911, OR REPORT
IT TO THE ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FORESTRY DIVISION
AT (800) 468-8834.
