FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
348 AM EDT WED OCT 7 2026
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE IS PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST OF THE REGION. THIS WILL
CAUSE WINDS TO SHIFT FROM THE SOUTHWEST BY MID-MORNING. BY THE
AFTERNOON, WE WILL BE MIXING UP TO 4500-5000FT WHICH WILL ALLOW
DRY AIR TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. RH MINIMUM IN THE AFTERNOON
WILL DIP INTO THE 20-25% RANGE. GIVEN 10-12KTS TRANSPORT WINDS, WE
WILL SEE GOOD DISPERSION. THESE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY.
