Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern Kentucky
National Weather Service Jackson KY
506 AM EST Wed Jan 8 2025
.DISCUSSION...A combination of very cold air, widespread low
level cloud cover, and moist northwest flow aloft will allow
snow flurries and scattered light snow showers to persist
across eastern Kentucky today and tonight. The snow should
finally begin to taper off Wednesday evening and be out of the
area by late evening. The snow and cold will both keep any
fire fuels quite moist and making burning difficult if not
impossible. After a break from the clouds and snow Thursday
and Thursday night, another winter storm is expected to
move through the region, and could bring impactful snowfall
to the area to heading into the weekend.
