...Increased Risk of Wildfires This Evening...

Gusty southwest winds and low humidities will linger into the
evening. This will lead to an increased risk of wildfires through
around sunset. Humidities will gradually increase through the
evening and southwest winds will gradually slacken diminishing the
wildfire threat.

Remember that under KY law, it is illegal to burn within 150 feet
of any woodland or brushland between 6 AM and 6 PM during the
Spring Fire Season that runs through April 30th.
