Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana
National Weather Service Louisville KY
330 AM EDT Sun Aug 17 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A moist airmass in place today should support isolated to widely
scattered storms through the day. Outside of the storms, expect hot
conditions. Coverage of storms should be less Monday, though there still
will be higher humidity and heat. Winds generally will be light, but
transport winds with better mixing should be from the north.
