Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
349 AM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...A cold front will cross the area this afternoon from
north to south, and may bring a few sprinkles or raindrops in
isolated locations. However, the boundary layer will be well-mixed
and dry, making it difficult for anything to reach the ground. Cool
and dry conditions persist into the weekend before rain chances
increase next week.
