FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
406 AM EDT MON OCT 5 2026
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF TO OUR NORTH BRINGS LIGHT NORTHERLY SFC FLOW
THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND A THICK MIXING LAYER IS PRESENT AS THE 850 MB
DRY AIR MIXES DOWN. MID-70S TEMPS AND UPPER-20 AND LOWER-30 RH VALUES
SHOULD BRING A GOOD DAY FOR BURNING, WITH GOOD DISPERSION RATES, CLEAR
SKIES, AND 5-10 KT TRANSPORT WINDS. MAX RH STILL SITS IN THE UPPER 90S
FOR THE OVERNIGHT, AND TOMORROW'S DISPERSION RATE IS POORER DUE TO
LESSER WINDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN IS THIS
WEEKEND, WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO DROUGHT CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN KY
AND DRIER FUELS.
