Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
249 PM EST Sat Nov 23 2024

.DISCUSSION...High pressure will bring one day of mild, fair
weather on Sunday before rain chances return Monday ahead of the
next cold front. Another brief period of dry weather follows for
Tuesday and Wednesday before another low pressure system is forecast
to bring a soaking rainfall on Thanksgiving Day. Behind that
system, a cooling trend towards well below normal temperatures
appears increasingly probable heading into early December.
