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

HIGH FIRE DANGER WILL COMBINE WITH CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION THROUGH MONDAY. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
WILL RANGE FROM 20 TO 25 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON...AND AROUND 25
PERCENT SUNDAY AND MONDAY. ADDITIONALLY...NORTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH
WITH GUSTS AROUND 20 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THIS AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS WILL INCREASE ON SUNDAY WHEN NORTH WINDS
WILL BECOME SUSTAINED FROM 15 TO 20 MPH AND GUST TO AROUND 25 MPH
DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT DECREASE TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15 MPH WITH
HIGHER GUSTS ON MONDAY. THEREFORE RED FLAG WARNINGS MAY AGAIN BE
REQUIRED FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS WELL.

THE FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION HAS BEEN ENHANCED BY
THE LACK OF RAINFALL DURING THE PAST MONTH. 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 ANY OUTDOOR BURNING. A LARGE PORTION
OF THE ARKLAMISS REGION NOW HAS LOCAL BURNING BANS IN EFFECT...AND
MORE BANS ARE EXPECTED IN THE COMING DAYS.

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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
400 AM CDT SAT OCT 2 2010

...FIRE DANGER WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION...

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...CONTINUED DRY THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL DRY AIR DUE LATER
TONIGHT. FIRE WEATHER WILL REMAIN THE GREATEST CONCERN FOR THE SHORT
TERM. FOR TODAY...CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED TO OUR NORTH WILL HELP PROVIDE ANOTHER DAY OF
FULL INSOLATION. AFTERNOON HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE LOW
TO MID 80S WHICH IS NEAR NORMAL. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
AREA WILL RELAX A BIT RESULTING IN LIGHTER AND LESS GUSTY WINDS
TODAY THAN WE EXPERIENCED FRIDAY. THE 00Z SAT JAN SOUNDING HAD A PW
OF ONLY .32IN AND DEW POINTS ARE RUNNING IN THE LOW TO MID 40S. THE
WARM TEMPERATURES AND DRY AIRMASS WILL LEAD TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE CRITICALLY LOW
FOR FIRE WEATHER BUT THE WINDS LOOK TO BE MARGINAL AREAWIDE TODAY.
WARMEST TEMPERATURES...LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND GREATEST
POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN HIGHER WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE WEST TODAY. A
RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA
THROUGH 7 PM WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH CONTINUING IN THE EAST
THROUGH SUNDAY.  LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWED A
SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE NEARING THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THAT IS
EXPECTED TO SWING EAST TODAY AND HELP FORM A CLOSED LOW OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT. THIS WILL SEND A DRY COLD FRONT SOUTH ACROSS
OUR CWA TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH VERY LITTLE IF ANY CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED
WITH THE DRY COLD FRONT TONIGHT...HIGHER MOISTURE WILL TRY TO POOL
AHEAD OF IT. IN ADDITION...THE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT
WILL PROVIDE MIXING THAT WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY WARMER MORNING LOWS
SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH WL START OFF WARMER...DECENT CAA IS EXPECTED SUNDAY
WITH BREEZY NORTH WINDS. THIS WILL MAKE IT HARD FOR TEMPERATURES TO
CLIMB OUT OF THE LOWER 70S AT MOST LOCATIONS. THE DRY AND BREEZY
CONDITIONS WILL AGAIN RAISE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS BUT THE LOWER
TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD TO HIGHER AFTERNOON MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES. THIS WILL AGAIN LEAD TO MARGINAL RED FLAG WARNING
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX SOME
SUNDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NORTH OF OUR REGIONS DRAWS
CLOSER BUT THE WINDS WILL LIKELY REMAIN UP PREVENTING PRIME
RADIATIONAL COOLING. STILL...A RATHER CHILLY MONDAY MORNING IS IN
STORE AS MOST SITES START OFF IN THE LOWER 40S. THE LATEST GFS RUN
WAS AMONG THE LOWEST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AND HAVE INCREASED MIN TEMPS
MONDAY MORNING A COUPLE OF DEGREES. THE GFS GUIDANCE WAS A LITTLE
TOO COOL IN THE CENTRAL PORTIONS TODAY AND LEANED TOWARD WARMER MET
MOS. /22/

&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THRU NEXT SATURDAY...

UNFORTUNATELY...NO RAIN IN SIGHT OVER THIS PERIOD...WITH GENERAL
MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWING NO REAL SIGNIFICANT HOPE AT RAIN WITHIN THE
NEXT 10 DAYS.

LOOK FOR DEEP EAST COAST CUTOFF DISTURBANCE TO CONTINUE TO FUNNEL
COOL AND DRY AIR DOWN INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY THROUGH TUESDAY.
MODELS PHASE THIS DISTURBANCE INTO THE NORTHERN STREAM AT VARIOUS
RATES...BUT ITS INFLUENCE SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH EAST TO ALLOW A
WARMING TREND TO BEGIN IN EARNEST AFTER WEDNESDAY. AT THAT POINT
MUCH OF THE SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES AND LOWER MS VALLEY WILL BE IN A
QUASI UPPER RIDGE IN BETWEEN A DEEP GYRE ALONG THE WEST COAST AND
LINGERING TROUGHING OFF THE EAST COAST. WARMTH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
RIDGE WILL BUILD...BUT LOW LEVEL RIDGING SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS OUR
REGION AND KEEP VERY DRY AIR IN PLACE. THE COMBINATION OF THE LATTER
TWO FACTORS WILL LIKELY MAKE FOR A WARMING TREND MUCH MORE
PRONOUNCED IN TERMS OF DAYTIME HIGHS THAN NIGHTTIME LOWS. ALTHOUGH
NOT EXPLICITLY FORECAST AT THIS TIME...I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO
SEE A FEW SPOTS AROUND THE REGION HITTING 90 DEGREES BY FRIDAY OR
NEXT SATURDAY.

MEX LOW TEMPS LOOKED GOOD THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH COOLISH OVERALL
OUTPUT PLAUSIBLE GIVEN DAY IN AND DAY OUT SETUPS FOR OPTIMAL
RADIATIONAL COOLING OVER DRY GROUND. HOWEVER...MEX HIGH TEMPS LOOK
TOO COOL FROM WEDNESDAY ONWARD AND I INCREASED 1 TO 4 DEGREES
THROUGHOUT THE LATTER HALF OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

A WORD ABOUT FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE EXTENDED: DAYTIME RH
VALUES STILL LOOK TO BOTTOM OUT BELOW 30 PERCENT THROUGH ALL (OR AT
LEAST A MAJORITY) OF THE EXTENDED. FORTUNATELY...GUSTY WINDS SHOULD
NOT BE AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM AFTER WEDNESDAY. WILL STILL BE WATCHING
THE SITUATION CLOSELY AT THAT POINT FOR SURE. /BB/

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE I-55
CORRIDOR AND WEST TODAY WHERE WARMEST TEMPERATURES AND LOWEST RHS
ARE EXPECTED. HOWEVER...THE WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER AND LESS GUSTY
TODAY. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT TODAY FOR THE
EAST. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE WHOLE AREA
FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY AT 7 PM. ANOTHER DRY COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT AND RESULT IN GUSTY WINDS
GREATER THAN 15 MPH SUNDAY...HOWEVER...COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD
TO HIGHER AFTERNOON MINIMUM RHS. NO RAINFALL IS EXPECTED THROUGH AT
LEAST THE END OF NEXT WEEK SO DROUGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
WORSEN. SEVERAL PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS HAVE 30-DAY LOCAL BURN
BANS ALREADY IN EFFECT...AND ADDITIONAL BANS ARE EXPECTED IN THE
COMING DAYS...CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL AGENCY. /22/

&&

.AVIATION...GOOD FLYING WEATHER CONTINUES AS VFR CONDITIONS WITH
CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. NORTHERLY WINDS OF
10-15 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 20KTS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. ANOTHER DRY COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TAF LOCATIONS TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT
IN STRONGER AND GUSTIER WINDS SUNDAY. /22/
