410 AM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026
.DISCUSSION...Widespread rainfall is expected today along a slow moving
frontal boundary with plenty of moisture to work with. Overall, most
locations can expect between .5" and 1" of rainfall, however isolated
locations may see 1.5 amounts, especially across southern IN or northern
KY. Occasional scattered showers will likely linger across southern KY
through the weekend, however southern IN and northern KY will stay dry.
Looks to be another fairly prolonged period of dry weather going into
next week so small fuels may dry out fairly quickly.
