FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
338 AM EDT MON JUL 13 2026
DISCUSSION
WE WILL BE MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM THE WET AND ACTIVE
PATTERN FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TO A RELATIVELY DRIER AND WARMER
WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE WEEK AHEAD. SFC HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES WILL START TO BRING DRIER AIR AS IT BUILDS SOUTHWARD. MOST OF THE
CWA WILL BE DRY WITH MAINLY EAST-NORTHEAST WINDS. SOME AFTERNOON MIXING
COULD INCREASE A FEW GUSTS TO AROUND 20-25 MPH. TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE
LAKE CUMBERLAND REGION TO ALONG THE KY/TN THE LINGERING SFC LOW AND CUT-
OFF UPPER LOW WILL KEEP THE CHANCE FOR SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BUT THE TREND HAS BEEN TOWARDS A DRIER SOLUTION.
THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL FEATURE DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS AS WELL AS
HUMID AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL GET BACK TO AROUND 90 WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND
THE MID 70S RESULTING IN HEAT INDICES AROUND 100. THERE WILL BE SMALL
DAILY AFTERNOON CHANCES OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS DUE TO DAYTIME
HEATING BUT THAT THREAT REMAINS RELATIVELY SMALL.
