FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
353 PM EDT FRI SEP 25 2026
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL PROVIDE COOL
AND DRY FLOW INTO THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH
AND NORTHEAST ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY, WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO
REACH THE LOW-TO-MID 70S. CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR DRY AIR MIXDOWN,
AS MINIMUM RH VALUES EACH AFTERNOON SHOULD BE IN THE 30S IN MANY AREAS, AND
IN THE 20S IN THE MORE WELL-MIXED ZONES. A STOUT TEMPERATURE INVERSION AROUND
5K FT AGL WILL LIMIT MIXING HEIGHTS FOR MUCH OF THE WEEKEND, AND THE COMBINATION
OF THESE MIXING HEIGHTS WITH TRANSPORT WINDS ONLY AROUND 10 KNOTS WILL LIMIT
DISPERSION PARAMETER VALUES. CONTINUED DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, WITH TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY WARMING THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
