Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
610 AM EDT Fri May 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...Daily high temperatures will climb into the 80s
through the weekend and into early next week. A series of
disturbances will also keep our weather unsettled through the weekend
with repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected at times.
Due to the expected rain, persistently moist conditions will keep
relative humidity and fuel moisture levels well above any critical
fire weather thresholds. Winds are not expected to be an issue
either. Storms could be severe in Sunday and Sunday night.
Thereafter, a surface cold front will usher in cooler, drier air
across the region by Tuesday, providing seasonably cool temperatures
and humidities along with dry, fair weather through much of the
upcoming week.
