Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
620 AM EDT Sun Sep 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...Low pressure and the slowly dissipating remnants of
Hurricane Helene will linger through the region into Monday keeping
fairly high chances of rain in the forecast, but likely not enough
rain to cause any trouble. Look for mild nights and temperatures
slightly below normal during the days into the new work week. Drier
weather is expected from midweek on following a fairly dry cold front
crossing the area early Wednesday.
