Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson KY
440 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...A drier and cooler air mass is moving into the area
tonight as high pressure works into the Ohio Valley. Following the
potential for some patchy frost in the valleys Thursday morning,
relative humidity values will drop to between 20 and 30 percent
across many locations in the afternoon. Fortunately, 20 foot winds
look to average less than 10 mph. Warmer weather and small chances of
rain return by the end of the work week and continue through the
weekend.
