FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR THE MIDSOUTH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
330 PM CDT SAT OCT 24 2026
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE MID-
SOUTH INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE COMBINATION OF ABOVE-NORMAL
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY, AND VERY DRY FUELS
WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR FIRE STARTS
AND GROWTH, DESPITE THE RELATIVELY LIGHT 20-FOOT WIND SPEEDS. THE
PERSISTENT DROUGHT HAS LED TO ERC VALUES ABOVE THE 90TH
PERCENTILE
AREA-WIDE, WITH SOME AREAS NEAR THE 97TH PERCENTILE. ABOVE-NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WORK WEEK. PATCHY FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH MORNING, PRIMARILY
NEAR WATER SOURCES AND IN THE LOW-LYING AREAS OF WEST TENNESSEE
AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI.
