Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Jackson MS 1146 AM CST Thu Nov 12 2026 ARZ074-075-LAZ007>009-015-016-023>026-MSZ018-019-025>066-072>074- 130015- 1146 AM CST Thu Nov 12 2026 ...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS TODAY... Recent dry conditions have made outdoor burning increasingly hazardous. Conditions are such that a spark from equipment, the heat from a catalytic converter, or any heat source could start a grass or brush fire. The combination of dry fine fuels, such as grass, and low relative humidity have resulted in continued fire danger across the region. Minimum relative humidity values will range from 25 to 35 percent this afternoon, creating high fire danger given the dry and breezy conditions. Most area counties and parishes are under local burn bans at the present time. Fires place local forestry agencies, fire departments, and other fire control agencies in life threatening situations, and can endanger communities. Please use caution and help prevent forest and grass fires. $$ DL
