Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
507 AM EST Sat Nov 8 2025

.DISCUSSION...High pressure will bring drier and mild weather to
the area today. However, a deepening low pressure system tracking
east northeast north of the Ohio River will send a much stronger cold
front through the region late Saturday night and Sunday morning. A
few showers may occur with the front, but the big impact will be on
its back side, as the arrival of much colder air results in snow
showers Sunday night into Monday. However, outside of the highest
elevations near the Virginia border, any accumulation is expected to
be less than an inch.
