Fire Weather Planning Forecast...UPDATED
National Weather Service Paducah KY
553 AM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Today will be mainly dry, warm, and breezy. The combination of
strong gusty winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels will
make for elevated fire potential across portions of southeast
Missouri and southwest Illinois this afternoon. The passage of a
strong cold front brings our next chance of showers and thunderstorms
late Thursday afternoon into Thursday night, when strong to severe
thunderstorms are possible. Mainly dry and cooler conditions are
expected by Friday and the weekend. Good transport within a deep
mixed layer will promote very good to excellent dispersion today
and Thursday.
