Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson KY
415 PM EST Sat Feb 22 2025

.DISCUSSION...A noticeable warming trend will last through
Wednesday, with dry weather also probable during that time.
This will melt any remaining snow and then allow for drying.
A cold front is expected to pass on Wednesday night and
bring our next good shot at rain. Only a modest drop in
temperatures (by wintertime standards) is forecast for late
week behind the cold front.
