Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
134 AM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will keep dry, tranquil weather conditions in the
forecast daily for the bulk of the new week. Minimum RH will bottom
out thru the 30s percentile each day but recent rainfall, generally
light winds, and still sheltered fuels will offer counterweights to
its potential impacts on fire behavior.
