Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
120 AM CDT Mon Oct 13 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Expect a dry and seasonally mild work week with the next chance
of wetting rains not until sometime next weekend. Minimum RH will
bottom out thru the 30s percentile each day but recent rainfall,
generally light winds, and still sheltered fuels will offer
ample counterweights to its potential impacts on fire behavior.
