Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana

346 AM EDT Sat Oct 3 2026
.DISCUSSION...Other than a few scattered rain showers across southern
Kentucky later tonight into tomorrow, look for a dry rest of the weekend.
Temperatures will likely peak in the low and mid 70s with notable NE
surface winds around 5-10 mph. Southern Indiana and northern KY will
have the best chance at sunshine today, while central and southern KY
will likely see more cloud cover. The next chance for rain doesn`t
arrive until next weekend, so small fuels will likely dry out through
the week.
