A strong cold front will usher in very dry air on Friday through the weekend with relative humidity between 25 to 40 percent and winds gusting out of the north up to 30 mph at times. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect with the threat of rapid start and spread of wildfires.
A Fire Weather Watch is quite rare for our region with Gulf moisture typically abundant as observed for much of this week. However, a strong cold front will arrive on Friday and usher in very dry air along with gusty north winds, prompting the issuance of a Fire Weather Watch.
One more abnormally hot October day across the region with highs in the 90s, temperatures tonight will range from the mid 50s to mid 60s with some very low chances of rain for areas south of I-20 tonight.
Severe to extreme drought remain across our region, along with numerous Burn Bans. Please remember to check with your local, county/parish, or state officials before starting any outdoor fires.
