.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire danger will persist through the weekend as relative
humidity values drop to or below 30 percent across west
Tennessee, the Missouri Bootheel, and northeast Arkansas. High
temperatures will climb back into the upper 80s and lower 90s
each afternoon.
Confidence is increasing for wetting rain chances for the
majority of the area Monday night through the Wednesday morning
timeframe. Unseasonably cool and dry air will move back into the
region late week behind a cold front.
