Fire Weather Planning Forecast for S MS and SE LA
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
1233 AM CDT Wed Jul 16 2025

Tonight will see rain chances pull back quite a bit as high
pressure builds over the area. Shower and thunderstorm potential
picks up for the second half of the week as moisture moves back
in.

Minimum RH values will generally range between 50 and 65 percent.
Winds will remain light out of the south to southwest throughout
the period, with occasional shift in speed and direction
primarily driven by nearby thunderstorms or localized influences
such as lake and sea breezes.
