Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
448 AM EDT Sun May 5 2024

.DISCUSSION...Multiple rounds of showers and storms are
expected across the area through the end of the upcoming
work week, as a series of low pressure systems move through
the region. The best times for storms each day will be during
the afternoon and evening periods, when peak heating will be
occurring and instability will be maximized. The repeated
rounds of rain and high humidity will keep the risk of
wildfires extremely low through at least Thursday.
