Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana
National Weather Service Louisville KY
321 PM EDT Fri Oct 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...An isolated shower or storm is possible this evening, mainly
along and north of I-64. Storm motion will be slow and erratic due to the
lack of upper level winds. Outside of the small precipitation chances this
evening, the weekend will be warm and dry. The next chances for rain then
arrive early to middle of next week ahead of a notable cold front. Cooler
temperatures with highs in the 70s and low in the 40s and 50s arrive for
mid to late week.
