Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
219 PM CDT Fri Oct 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A few sprinkles or light showers will be possible in southwest IN
and western KY through this evening; otherwise, most locations
will remain dry through Sunday. The next chance of a wetting rain
will arrive Monday into Tuesday as increased moisture lifts north
from the Gulf and a cold front approaches the region. Good
dispersion is anticipated for Saturday and Sunday with an
increase in southerly transport winds combined with deep layer
mixing. Humidity levels will fall into the 30 to 45% range each
afternoon.
