Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
442 AM EDT Sun Jun 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...A strong upper level ridge and high pressure system
are in place to our east. Despite light winds, this will allow for
deep warm air advection into the region, increasing temperatures and
humidity values. Today and through the rest of the week, expect high
temperatures in the 90s, with humidity making it feel in the upper
90s to around 100 degrees. Isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, mainly south of the Hal
Rodgers/Hwy-80 corridor. These will quickly dissipate heading into
the evening and overnight as we lose the daytime mixing. All of
eastern Kentucky will then see scattered showers/storms for Monday.
After Monday, the next chance for rain won`t be until Saturday, and
even then it`s only slight chances.
