Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
307 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Northeast winds will continue Thursday with some gustiness
expected mainly over west Kentucky. The Mark Twain will see light
and variable winds. Light winds will then be the norm for the
entire area Friday through the weekend. A more substantial south
wind may develop next week. Relative humidity is forecast to
increase about 10% over today`s levels for Friday and through much
of the next week. However, it will not be surprising to see
humidity drop below forecast levels and below 40% each day
through the period.
