Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
339 PM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Dry air and good mixing is expected through Friday. However, winds
Wednesday and Thursday will be light resulting in less than
desirable smoke dispersion. By Friday south winds will increase
which will lead to better dispersion, but with some higher gust
potential. Also, the south winds will lead to some increase in
relative humidity, especially as we head into Saturday. Warmer and
increasingly humid conditions are expected over the weekend. Our
next cold front and widespread wetting rains are expected Monday
night into next Tuesday.
