Saturday PM Forecast: Low relative humidity will create fire weather conditions again tomorrow
Although we will not see that much sun tomorrow because of the clouds, the current drought conditions and low relative humidity will cause fire weather conditions. Any fires that start will spread quickly.
Tonight & Tomorrow: Clouds will continue to build into the area in the overnight hours and will not allow our low temperature to get as low as previous nights. We will still get down to around 64 degrees. Clouds will stick around throughout the entire day on Sunday. We will start the day with overcast skies and end the day with some slight clearing to mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will max out around 87 degrees but humidity will not be that high. Low relative humidity and drought conditions will lead to increased fire danger. If the burn ban in your parish has been lifted, still be extremely careful about burning.
Up Next: Clouds will stick around throughout the morning on Monday but should start to clear out by the afternoon. This will give way to highs in the upper 80's and that will be the story for the rest of the week. Our next potential shot for rain is Thursday and Friday. This weather system looks to miss us currently and these low end rain chances might need to be taken away by tomorrow.
