Cold front to raise fire danger across Mississippi

Mostly dry weather will continue across Mississippi through Wednesday, with scattered sprinkles or light showers possible in parts of the state, the National Weather Service in Jackson said.

A cold front is expected to move through Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing colder weather late in the week. Dry conditions, drought and increased wind gusts behind the front will raise fire danger Thursday, the weather service said. Residents should use caution with outdoor burning and follow local burn bans.
