Fire Weather Planning Forecast for S MS and SE LA

537 AM CDT Tue Aug 11 2026
.DISCUSSION...
As high pressure builds in we will begin to see fewer and fewer
storms each day through the week. With fewer storms and fewer
clouds we will also beign to see temps climb. Isolated storms are
still possible and will be highly diurnal with storms inland
during the day and either gone or over the coastal waters at
night. As for other fire weather concerns, light and variable to
calm winds overnight and then winds around 5-10 kts coming out of
the southwest to southeast as the seabreeze develops. Humidity
values will be of no concern with min humidity values generally
remaining in the 40- 60% range all week. No critical fire weather
concerns through the forecast period.
