Low humidity forecast persists through early next week in parts of the South

Low relative humidity is expected to continue through early next week in parts of the South, with levels dipping as low as 25% to 35% along and south of I-40 on Sunday, according to weather officials.

The dry conditions raise fire risk concerns in the region, prompting advisories from local agencies. Humidity levels are forecast to increase late next week as a system moves into the Lower Mississippi Valley, bringing moisture back to the area.

Officials recommend residents and outdoor workers remain cautious to prevent fire outbreaks during the period of low humidity.
