Spot Forecast for Yellowbank WMA: T2-TU2...KDFWR
National Weather Service Louisville KY
938 AM EDT Mon Oct 26 2026

Forecast is based on ignition time of 0600 CDT on October 27.
If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather
Service.

.DISCUSSION...High pressure remains in control across the region, and
will keep us dry through the entire work week. The forecast calls
for mostly sunny skies, however their will likely be some thin upper
level sky cover on Tuesday. Overall, most of the parameters look good
for burning with minimum afternoon RH values down into the upper
30 percent range, good mixing heights around 5 K feet, and mild
temperatures for this time of year peaking in the mid 70s. The limiting
factor for good dispersion will be weak surface and transport winds.
Any light direction will favor a SE to NW direction, and it does look
look like Chenault School Road could be affected if any smoke is not
able to get up and out.
