...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY AND TOMORROW...
Elevated fire weather conditions can be expected across portions
of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi this afternoon
and Saturday. Relative humidity values are forecast to drop into
the low 20 to mid 30 percent range. The 20 ft wind forecast is at
or less than 10 mph, which will limit critical fire weather
conditions or at least the effective spread of fires that may
ignite.
Numerous local burn bans are in place and continue to expand across
LA and MS due to ongoing drought conditions. This now includes East
Feliciana, Pointe Coupee, St. Helena, St Tammany, Tangipahoa, and
Washington Parishes along with Wilkinson, Amite, Pike, and
Walthall Counties. Regardless, outdoor burning is strongly not
recommended this afternoon, and all local restrictions followed.
