This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a portion of eastern Kentucky.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

A hard freeze will occur at most locations late tonight which could
kill any cold sensitive vegetation that has emerged prematurely due
to early season warmth.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Low relative humidities and gusty southwest winds will combine to
lead to an increased threat for wildfires during the day Tuesday,
and again on Wednesday as the winds shift more westerly.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

...Hard Freeze For Most Locations Tonight...
...Elevated Fire Risk Tuesday...

A blast of cold air will send temperatures to well below freezing
at most locations tonight. With forecast lows in the low to mid
20s for the valleys and mid to upper 20s on the ridges, any
freshly budding or blossoming vegetation could be damaged or
killed. Now is the time to prepare for this cold snap.

An enhanced risk of wildfires will occur on Tuesday, as relative
humidity lowers to near or below 20 percent, along with
southwest wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph in place. Locations near
I-64 could see localized gusts above 30 mph in the afternoon.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn Tuesday. Use caution when burning as fires may get
out of hand quickly in these conditions.
