FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
329 AM EDT WED OCT 28 2026
DISCUSSION
MID- AND UPPER-LEVEL CLOUD COVER WILL CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST
THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS, WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR GOOD
HEATING AND MIXING THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE AGAIN EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY
LIGHT, LIMITING DISPERSION PARAMETER VALUES, ALTHOUGH MIXING HEIGHTS SHOULD
STILL MAKE IT TO 4500-5000 FEET THIS AFTERNOON. THE AIR ALOFT IS NOT
PARTICULARLY DRY, SO THAT MAY LIMIT HOW MUCH RH VALUES FALL THIS AFTERNOON,
BUT STILL EXPECT MINIMUM RHS IN THE 30-40% RANGE, PERHAPS CLOSER TO 30%
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KY. SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS AND BETTER DISPERSION VALUES
ARE EXPECTED ON THURSDAY, AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST.
THIS FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BRING RAIN, AND SHOULD MAINLY BRING A WIND SHIFT
TO NORTHEAST WINDS ON FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE FAIRLY SIMILAR EACH DAY
THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH HIGHS IN THE MID-TO-UPPER 70S.
