FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
409 AM EDT SUN OCT 4 2026
DISCUSSION
LOOK FOR A DRY DAY TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
70S. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT OUT OF THE N/NE, AND TRANSPORT WINDS
WILL ALSO BE LIGHT IN THE 5-10 MPH RANGE. THIS WILL HURT OVERALL
DISPERSION POTENTIAL DESPITE MIXING HEIGHTS UP AROUND 3500-4000 FEET
AGL. RIGHT NOW, THE BEST BURNING DAY LOOKS TO BE MONDAY WHEN OVERALL
DISPERSION WILL BE BETTER THANKS TO STRONGER TRANSPORT WINDS COUPLED
WITH FAVORABLE MIXING HEIGHTS. MIN RH VALUES WILL ALSO BE IN THE 30
TO 40 PERCENT RANGE WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE FAVORABLE.
