.DISCUSSION...
A series of fronts will continue to keep a drier pattern in place
through early next week across the region. The strongest of these
fronts is expected to move through on Sunday, and this will push
RH values down to more critical levels for early next week.
Before this front moves through, minimum RH values will range
between 40 and 50 percent through Sunday. However, minimum RH
values will drop to between 30 and 40 percent starting on Monday
and continuing through Wednesday. Northerly winds could approach
12 mph on Monday, so this day will need to monitored for higher
fire potential. For fog potential tonight into tomorrow morning,
there is a risk of some patchy light fog development over
portions of Southwest Mississippi and portions of Louisiana
mainly to the north and west of Baton Rouge.
