Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the MidSouth

.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather danger is present across the Mid-South today
and will continue tomorrow. 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 pretty 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.
