NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
330 AM CST THU FEB 19 2026
DISCUSSION
WETTING RAIN CHANCES INCREASE FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MID-
SOUTH BEGINNING THURSDAY. DRY CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE REGION WITH ELEVATED 20 FT WINDS WILL RESULT IN A LIMITED
FIRE DANGER FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA. A COOLER AND WETTER
PATTERN WILL EMERGE AFTER THURSDAY, LEADING TO GENERALLY REDUCED
FIRE WEATHER RISK AS HUMIDITY RISES AND FUEL MOISTURE IMPROVES.
