Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana
National Weather Service Louisville KY
319 AM EDT Thu Aug 13 2026

.DISCUSSION...

Aside from a few showers and storms this morning, it`s shaping up
to be a dry day through mid afternoon. During the evening,
however, there will be a 30-50% chance for showers and storms to
drop south out of southern Indiana and bring locally heavy
rainfall. Outside of storms, light transport winds and modest
mixing will limit ventilation today, though mixing heights will
increase as high pressure strengthens heading into the weekend.
