DISCUSSION
Issued at 146 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026
Through Sunday: As the remnants of Isaias continues lifting away from the CWA, the drier air wrapping into the system will end the rainfall early this evening and the strong gusty winds will gradually subside. Thus, the Wind Advisory will be allowed to expire. A surface high will become centered over the central Gulf coast as a ridge aloft moves into our region from the west. This will lead to warmer than normal temperatures with the warmest temperatures in the west. Temperatures in the lower 90s will lead to low relative humidity again but the wind will be much lighter and mitigate fire danger concerns. /22/
Sunday night-Friday:
Upper-lvl high will build over the southeast CONUS and slowly move eastward over the period. Dry conditions are expected throughout the week as RH values fall to the upper 20s-30% near the MS Delta and west of I-55 Sunday and Monday resulting in fire weather concerns to over those days. RH's are expected to increase above 30% over the week but conditions will remain dry. Highs/lows temps will remain well above-average through the end of the week. A cold front will push into the area into the weekend, dropping temps closer to seasonal averages. /SW/
