FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
341 AM EDT TUE OCT 27 2026
DISCUSSION
SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO PREVIOUS DAYS ARE EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS
THE AREA. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE DAY,
LIMITING DISPERSION VALUES IN SPITE OF MIXING HEIGHTS IN THE 4500-5500 FT
RANGE. UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER SHOULD INCREASE DURING THE DAY, AGAIN LIMITING
THE AMOUNT OF DRY AIR MIXDOWN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TONIGHT, CONTINUED
MID- AND UPPER-LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT RECOVERY OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES, AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE NEARLY AS MUCH VALLEY FOG WEDNESDAY MORNING.
HOWEVER, MAXIMUM RH VALUES SHOULD STILL EXCEED 85% IN MOST AREAS, HELPING TO
SUSTAIN MOISTURE IN SMALLER FUELS. A WEAK SYSTEM PASSING TO THE NORTH OF
THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY SHOULD BRING STRONGER WINDS WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY,
WITH TRANSPORT WINDS INCREASING TO AROUND 10 MPH. DRY WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE
THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND, WITH CHANCES FOR RAIN RETURNING
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
