FNUS74 KLIX 190939 FWSLIX Spot Forecast for Desoto Silviculture Unit 11...USFS National Weather Service New Orleans LA 439 AM CDT Tue May 19 2026 If conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather Service. We can be reached at (985) 649-0357 if you have questions or concerns with this forecast. .DISCUSSION... Fire weather concerns continue to be limited as moisture continues to move back into the area leading to gradually increasing rain chances. Showers and thunderstorm activity will be lowest today, becoming more area-wide Wednesday through the weekend. Over the next 7 days forecast rainfall totals vary from 4 to 7 inches across northwestern areas to less than an inch for extreme southeast Louisiana and much of the Mississippi coast. For most of the area, for most of the week, minimum humidities are likely to be 60 percent or higher every day. .QUESTIONS... 1) What is the chance for fog including density and coverage over the burn site post ignition? Low chances late tonight into early tomorrow morning. Not anticipating widepsread or dense fog. Will we see any chance of a Sea-Breeze set up over the burn area post ignition? Doesn't appear to be a well-defined seabreeze today thanks to persistent/breezy SE winds. Rather, winds pick up mid/late morning and remain out of the southeast through the afternoon/evening without any significant wind shift. .TODAY...
