FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
537 PM EDT MON OCT 19 2026
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION OVER THE WEEK, BRINGING PERSISTENT DRY WEATHER AND LARGE DAILY
TEMPERATURE SWINGS BETWEEN COOL MORNING AND MILD AFTERNOONS. WINDS SHOULD
PREDOMINANTLY BE LIGHT (LESS THAN 10 MPH) OUT OF THE NORTHEAST OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WOULD BE EXPECTED TO RECOVER
EACH NIGHT ABOVE 80 PERCENT ACROSS THE AREA THANKS TO LIGHT WINDS AND
LIMITED LOW AND MID-LEVEL CLOUD COVER. EACH AFTERNOON, RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED
TO DROP INTO THE 20S AND 30S, THOUGH THE COVERAGE OF HIGH CLOUDS ON TUESDAY
MAY LIMIT DRY AIR MIXDOWN POTENTIAL SOMEWHAT.
