Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
417 AM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Strong southerly transport winds and deep mixing will lead to
great smoke dispersion today. A very good chance for a wetting
rain is forecast this evening as a line of thunderstorms, some of
which may be severe, move across the region. Behind the cold
front, winds become northerly tomorrow through the weekend. Decent
mixing will lead to good smoke dispersion continuing. Good drying
conditions are expected with minimum afternoon RH values mostly
falling into the 30 percentile range Friday through Monday.
