712 FNUS54 KJAN 281953 FWFJAN Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Extreme Southeast Arkansas, Northeast Louisiana, and Central Mississippi National Weather Service Jackson MS 153 PM CST Sat Feb 28 2026 .DISCUSSION... Dry and seasonably warm weather conditions will persist through at least early next week. For today, relative humidity may fall into the 20 to 25 percent range across much of the area, with fuels remaining dry across much of the region. However, relatively light wind should limit greater fire danger. Humidity will gradually increase over the next several days. Patchy fog cannot be ruled out again late tonight into Sunday morning in far southern fire districts areas, but no widespread dense fog is anticipated at this time.
