...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY...

Elevated fire weather conditions can be expected across portions
of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi this afternoon.
Relative humidity values are forecast to drop into the 30 to 40
percent range, especially near and north of the Interstate 10 and
12 corridors. The 20 ft wind forecast is expected to remain at or
below 10 mph in most areas, which should limit critical fire
weather conditions or at least the effective spread of fires that
may ignite.

Numerous local burn bans are in place across LA and MS due to
ongoing drought conditions. Outdoor burning is strongly
discouraged as the ongoing drought conditions continue, and all
local restrictions should be followed.
