Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the MidSouth

.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather danger is present across the Mid-South today
and will continue through at least Labor Day. This is mainly due
to low humidity (MinRHs below 30%, especially for north MS in the
Holly Springs NF area) and ongoing drought conditions leading to
dry fuels. Rainfall will be isolated early next week and may not
provide much drought relief, though MinRHs do increase to 50+% by
Tuesday. Another cool and dry airmass is on its way midweek and
may further exacerbate fire weather concerns starting Friday
depending on how widespread the rainfall we receive next week is.
