FNUS54 KMEG 152031 FWFMEG Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the MidSouth National Weather Service Memphis TN 330 PM CDT Thu Oct 15 2026 .DISCUSSION... Dry conditions will persist into next week with little to no wetting rainfall. A strong cold front will pass through the region later tonight into Friday morning. Post-frontal relative humidity will drop below 40 percent Friday afternoon, accompanied by strong northwest winds. These elevated winds and relative humidity values between 30-35 percent, generally for areas along and west of a line from Dyersburg, TN to Oxford, MS, may result in an elevated fire danger Friday afternoon and the issuance of a Rangeland Fire Danger statement. Winds will gradually diminish into the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will moderate again next week as an upper-level ridge builds across the region.
