Fire Weather Planning Forecast for S MS and SE LA
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
537 AM CDT Fri Aug 21 2026

.DISCUSSION...

As high pressure dominates the region though into next week, we
will see temperatures above average with daytime highs well into
the 90s and overnight lows in the upper 70s. Drought conditions
have depleted fuel moisture and, other than today, rain will
continue to be very difficult to come by for many areas outside a
stray shower or thunderstorm during peak heating hours. Lowest
daily RH values will remain in the mid 40 to 60% range through
the week.
