Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
359 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions will continue through Saturday as high pressure
dominates the weather. Deeper mixing to around 6000 feet is
expected the next several days, but weaker transport winds will
lead to poor smoke dispersion. RH`s actually drop below 50
percent for the next couple afternoons, particularly across
Missouri and Illinois. Our next rain chance arrives Sunday into
early next week.
