Continued hot and dry conditions will contribute to increased fire danger this weekend across the entire Four State Region. Follow burn guidance of local officials, especially because many counties and parishes are currently under burn bans. Activities that could start outdoor fires are discouraged.
Temperatures will remain much above average this weekend with very little chance of rain. Expect lows tonight ranging from the upper 60s to lower 70s with highs tomorrow generally still well up into the 90s.
