Fire Weather Planning Forecast for S MS and SE LA
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
359 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Moisture is not a concern now but winds will now pick up out
of the southeast and could be strong at times through the
weekend. Warm temperatures will continue through the weekend
but even with the moisture increasing rain will remain out of
the area. Fog will not be an issue through the forecast so
the only fire weather concern will be if winds are too strong.
