Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana

411 AM EDT Fri Aug 14 2026
.DISCUSSION...
An expansive area of thunderstorms across central Illinois and
Indiana is expected to fall apart as it approaches the local area.
However, a few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out this morning,
especially north of I-64. A couple (20% coverage) additional
storms may fire this afternoon along any residual outflow
boundary. Outside of storms, ventilation will be fair to poor due
to weak transport winds.
