Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
212 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Due to brisk winds and plummeting afternoon humidity, fire
danger will be heightened through early this evening,
especially across the Ozarks and neighboring locales.
A strong cold front approaches tomorrow, and with it will
come an increasing chance of strong storms and wetting rains.
The front`s passage tomorrow night will lead to a substantial
cool down heading into the weekend that lasts into early next
week.
