Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana
National Weather Service Louisville KY
321 AM EDT Fri Jul 4 2025

.DISCUSSION...High pressure and ridging over the region will lead
to dry weather, light winds, and warm temperatures. Dew points
will remain reasonable through Saturday. Dew points increase on
Sunday as high pressure shifts east of the region and moisture
returns via southwesterly flow. Chances for showers and storms
will be daily Sunday through Friday. For firework displays this
evening, a nocturnal inversion will quickly develop with sunset.
This will trap smoke beneath the inversion through the night.
