.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions will persist across the districts under the
influence of an upper ridge parked over the Ark-La-Tex. Little
wind is expected given a loose pressure gradient overhead. That
being said, 20ft winds will likely sit below active burn criteria
as guidance advertises calm winds just about area wide. This
should improve into Saturday with variable winds between 3-5 mph.
Along with the calm winds under the ridge, drier conditions will
prevail with RH values in the 30`s. No real change is expected
here through the period. Finally, mixing heights will reflect the
drier column as they approach 5000ft this afternoon, and will
increase to near 6000ft for Saturday.
