Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
435 PM EDT Wed Mar 27 2024

.DISCUSSION...Dry weather can be expected through the end of the
work week, as high pressure generally builds in across the area.
Temperatures will be somewhat below normal through Friday morning,
before returning to above normal through this weekend. Rain chances
will also move back in this weekend and early next week. Drier air
aloft will mix down both Thursday and Friday afternoon, though,
allowing for minimum relative humidity values of near or slightly
below 25 percent for many locations during peak heating.
