NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
356 PM EDT THU SEP 18 2025
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT REMAINS THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY
AND INTO THE START OF THE WEEKEND THANKS TO AFTERNOON DRY AIR MIXING BOTH
TOMORROW AND SATURDAY. MIN RH VALUES FOR FRIDAY COULD BE IN THE MID 20S BUT
LIGHT WINDS OF 5 MPH OR LESS WILL HELP TO PREVENT ANY SIGNIFICANT SPREAD.
RAIN CHANCES START TO INCREASE FOR LATE SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK AS WE SEE A
MORE PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN THAT COULD BRING A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES
OVER THE AREA.
