...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...

Elevated fire weather conditions can be expected across portions
of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi this afternoon.
Relative humidity values are forecast to drop into the 25 to 35
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 remain in place across LA and MS due to
ongoing drought conditions. This includes East Feliciana, St.
Helena, Tangipahoa, and Washington Parishes along with Wilkinson,
Amite, and Pike Counties. Regardless, outdoor burning is strongly
not recommended this afternoon, and all local restrictions
followed.

Additional statements, Fire Weather Watches or Red Flag Warnings
will be possible in the upcoming days as drought conditions
worsen, relative humidity values remain low during the afternoon,
and eventually winds begin to increase, especially this weekend.
