Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas,
Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1230 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Quiet weather and above normal warmth will exist across the area
through this weekend through much of the upcoming work week.
Though a stray shower can`t be ruled out over mainly far western
portions of the area ahead of a cold front mid-week, the next best
chance for rain areawide currently looks to come late next
Thursday through Saturday as this particular cold front is
advertised to slowly move east through the region. Drier air
pushing in behind a weak, dry cold front will tend to limit fog
potential for tonight and early Monday morning. Isolated patches
of ground fog are possible in the south, but not expected to be
dense.
