FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
432 PM EST MON NOV 9 2009
DISCUSSION
THE REMAINS OF WHAT WAS ONCE HURRICANE IDA WILL PASS
WELL TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. MOISTURE ON
THE FRINGE OF THE SYSTEM COULD BRING SOME LIGHT RAIN TO THE REGION.
THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE NEAR THE TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA BORDERS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER...EVEN THAT PROBABILITY IS
ONLY 30-40 PERCENT. ONCE THAT WEATHER SYSTEM PULLS OUT ON
WEDNESDAY...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE CONTROL OF OUR
WEATHER...WITHOUT ANY MENTION OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST UNTIL SUNDAY
NIGHT.
