FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
347 AM EST SAT DEC 20 2025
DISCUSSION
MILDER TEMPERATURES AND BREEZY SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TODAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WHICH SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM INTO THE LOW-TO-MID 50S ACROSS SOUTHERN IN
AND NORTHERN KY THIS AFTERNOON, WITH MID-TO-UPPER 50S EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN
KY. ELEVATED TRANSPORT WINDS APPEAR TO BE DRIVING MORE FAVORABLE SMOKE DISPERSION
PARAMETERS, THOUGH MIXING HEIGHTS ARE ALSO FAIRLY FAVORABLE THANKS TO MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON. DRY AIR ALOFT SHOULD ASSIST IN ACHIEVING SOME DRY AIR
MIX DOWN THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH EXACTLY HOW MUCH IS UNCERTAIN GIVEN INCREASING CLOUD
COVER. TONIGHT, AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT
FROM THE S/SW TO THE NW, WITH LIGHT NORTH WINDS CONTINUING INTO THE DAY ON SUNDAY.
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO FOLLOW THE FRONT, WITH HIGHS ONLY EXPECTED TO MAKE IT
INTO THE 40S ON SUNDAY. AT THIS TIME, THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS WITH ONLY A
VERY LOW CHANCE FOR LIGHT RAINFALL, MAINLY ALONG THE KY/TN BORDER.
