...Gusty Winds and Drying Leading to Increased Risk of Wildfires
Through This Evening...

Relative humidity near 30 percent or lower combined with southwest
winds gusting as high as 20 to 30 mph will lead an increased risk
of wildfires through early this evening. Around sunset, humidity
will increase and wind gusts will diminish.

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.
