Special Weather Statement, in full
Elevated fire weather conditions can be expected across portions of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi this afternoon. Relative humidity values are forecast to drop into the 25 to 35 percent range. The 20 ft wind forecast is at or less than 10 mph, which will limit critical fire weather conditions or at least the effective spread of fires that may ignite. Numerous local burn bans remain in place across LA and MS due to ongoing drought conditions. This includes East Feliciana, St. Helena, Tangipahoa, and Washington Parishes along with Wilkinson, Amite, and Pike Counties. Regardless, outdoor burning is strongly not recommended this afternoon, and all local restrictions followed. Additional statements, Fire Weather Watches or Red Flag Warnings will be possible in the upcoming days as drought conditions worsen, relative humidity values remain low during the afternoon, and eventually winds begin to increase, especially this weekend.

The sky tonight. The sun sets at 6:24 PM. The Moon is a waxing gibbous, 79% lit, and sets at 3:35 AM after midnight. The next full Moon is Sunday, Oct 25. After dark, look for Saturn, bright in the east-southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. The Orionids meteor shower is active, peaking around Oct 21: at its peak, up to about 20 meteors an hour can be seen from a dark site. The bright Moon hides all but the brightest of them. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 17 minutes long, 2 minutes shorter than yesterday.
