A RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING.
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING. 

DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
ARKLAMISS REGION TODAY. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES THIS AFTERNOON
WILL RANGE FROM 15 TO 25 PERCENT...WITH THE LOWEST VALUES ACROSS
THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION. ADDITIONALLY...NORTHERLY WINDS OF
15 TO 20 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS...ARE EXPECTED TODAY. THE
COMBINATION OF THE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND BREEZY WINDS WILL
RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH TODAY...
ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SIMILAR LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES AND BREEZY CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN DANGEROUS
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION INTO THIS
WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THEREFORE...THE
FIRE WEATHER WATCH COULD BE EXTENDED...AND ADDITIONAL RED FLAG
WARNINGS COULD BECOME REQUIRED.

THE FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION HAS BEEN ENHANCED BY
THE LACK OF RAINFALL DURING THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. DUE TO THE
VERY DRY SOIL CONDITIONS ALREADY IN PLACE...AREA FIRE AGENCIES
IN SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND CENTRAL
MISSISSIPPI HAVE INDICATED AN INCREASE IN FIRE DANGER AND FIRE
ACTIVITY...AND THEY DISCOURAGE OUTDOOR BURNING. PORTIONS OF THE
ARKLAMISS HAVE LOCAL BURN BANS IN EFFECT...AND ADDITIONAL BANS
ARE EXPECTED IN THE COMING WEEKS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A RED FLAG WARNING MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE EITHER OCCURRING NOW...OR WILL SHORTLY. A COMBINATION OF
STRONG WINDS...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY...AND WARM TEMPERATURES WILL
CREATE EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH POTENTIAL.

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ARE FORECAST TO OCCUR. LISTEN FOR LATER FORECASTS AND POSSIBLE
RED FLAG WARNINGS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
725 PM CDT THU SEP 30 20100

.UPDATE...HAVE ALLOWED THE RED FLAG WARNING TO EXPIRE AND WILL CONTINUE
THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH UNTIL 00Z SUNDAY. THE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK WITH
THE DRY FRONT COMING THROUGH FOR TONIGHT...GIVING THE REGION LOWS IN
THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S./17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...357 PM CDT THU SEP 30 2010

...FIRE DANGER GROWING FOR THE REGION...

.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY) FOLLOWING NEAR
RECORD DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER IN SEVERAL CWFA
LOCATIONS...THE FIRE DANGER CONCERNS ARE GROWING AS WE HEAD INTO THE
MONTH OF OCTOBER. NLY WINDS HAVE BEEN MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN EXPECTED
TODAY WITH GUSTS FREQUENTLY ABOVE 20 MPH FOR THE ERN 2/3 OF THE AREA
WHILE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES HAVE STAYED BELOW 25 PERCENT FOR
SEVERAL HOURS FOR MOST LOCATIONS. AT LEAST 2 TO 3 MORE AFTERNOONS OF
THESE CONDITIONS ARE VERY POSSIBLE GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND THUS
THE RAISED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS EXTENDING THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
THROUGH SATURDAY.

OTHERWISE...LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGHING WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE ERN
CONUS THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH A HIGH-AMPLITUDE RIDGE AXIS OVER THE
CENTRAL AND W CONUS. THIS OVERALL PATTERN WILL SUPPORT SUBSIDENT
NWLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND MEANING DROUGHT
CONDITIONS WILL ONLY WORSEN. A REINFORCING DRY SURFACE FRONT
CURRENTLY DIVING SWD ACROSS THE MID SOUTH HAS KICKED UP A CUMULUS
FIELD PUSHING 25KTS IN FORWARD SPEED. THE FRONT DROPS THROUGH ALL
OUR AREAS TONIGHT AND WILL LIKELY HOLD UP TEMPS SLIGHTLY FROM
PREVIOUS NIGHTS...ALL LOCATIONS STAYING IN THE 50S. MODEL CONSENSUS
IS FOR PWAT VALUES FALLING INTO THE 0.35-0.45-INCH RANGE IN THE WAKE
OF THIS FRONT ON FRIDAY AS NLY WINDS SHOULD AVERAGE 14-20KTS WITH
GUSTS OVER 25KTS AT TIMES. SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL
INTO THE U30S TO L40S ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE MS RIVER PER LATEST NAM12 RUNS.

ABOUT THE BEST NEWS AHEAD...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL BE AVERAGING
5-8F DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY AND THESE READINGS OF 78-83F SHOULD BE
THE MAXES ON SATURDAY AS WELL. MAV GUIDANCE GENERALLY ACCEPTED WITH
ADJUSTMENTS TOWARD LOWER AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS OF THE NAM12 MODEL./40/

LONGER TERM(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...THERE IS NARY A DROP OF RAIN
TO BE FOUND IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS BEFORE THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
AS THE LONG WAVE PATTERN HOLDS TOUGH. THE NET RESULT FOR OUR REGION
SHOULD BE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES STARTING SUNDAY. THE GFS/SREF
DEVELOP A RATHER SHARP POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY AND OVER OUR CWA BY SUNDAY WHILE THE ECMWF CLOSES A LOW OFF
OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BY SUNDAY. THE GFS/SREF HAVE A 1030MB HIGH
CENTERED OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SUNDAY WHILE THE ECMWF IS
FARTHER NORTH WITH THE HIGH CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. EITHER
SOLUTION WILL HELP SEND A SHOT OF REINFORCING COOL DRY AIR SOUTHWARD
INTO OUR REGION THAT WILL BRING COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR
SUNDAY AND LAST THROUGH MID WEEK.

AFTERNOON HIGHS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WILL BE IN THE 70S WITH LOWS
IN THE 40S. THE GFS IS MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE ECMWF WITH THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH AND SFC HIGH WHICH IT SHIFTS EAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE
ECMWF ON THE OTHER HAND...FORMS AN OMEGA BLOCK WITH ANOTHER CLOSED
LOW OVER THE WESTERN CONUS AND RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS BY
TUESDAY. THE ECMWF TAKES THE ASSOCIATED SFC HIGH SOUTH OVER OUR AREA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY INSTEAD OF SHIFTING IT EAST. AGAIN...EITHER WAY THE
GULF OF MEXICO WILL REMAIN CLOSED TO US AND WL MAINTAIN A COOL DRY
AIRMASS OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY. THE 00Z GFS MOS WAS CLOSE
TO THE ENSEMBLE MEANS AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED THROUGH THE LONG TERM.

MAYBE A BREAK IN THE DRYNESS HINTED FOR ABOUT COLUMBUS DAY...WE CAN
ONLY HOPE SO. /22/40/

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...VERY DRY SOIL CONDITIONS CONTINUE WITH KEETCH-BYRAM
DROUGHT INDICES IN EXCESS OF 700 ACROSS A LARGE PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA. WORSENING DROUGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AND ADDITIONAL
COUNTIES BEING ADDED TO BURN BAN LIST ALREADY IN EFFECT. MANY AREAS
ARE EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE CRITICAL RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES DURING
THE WATCH DURATION. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO ONLY
RECOVER TO THE 70-80 PERCENT LEVEL TONIGHT BEFORE FALLING OUT TO
CLOSE TO 20 PERCENT FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND 25-30 PERCENT SATURDAY.

20-FT WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 15 TO 20 MPH FOR FRIDAY
AND ANOTHER RED FLAG WARNING WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FROM ABOUT MID
MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WINDS SHOULD BE A BIT LOWER ON
SATURDAY AND MORE MARGINAL FOR WARNING CRITERIA OVERALL. THUS...THE
RED FLAG CONDITIONS SHOULD EXPIRE THIS EVENING HOWEVER THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING FOR NOW
AND WILL BE A DAY-TO-DAY DECISION./40/

&&

.AVIATION...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. NORTHERLY WINDS AT 10 TO 15 KT WITH
GUSTS TO 20-25 KT ARE EXPECTED AGAIN FRIDAY 15Z-23Z IN WAKE OF A
COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT.. NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL BE A BIT WEAKER FRIDAY NIGHT. /27/
