Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
1009 AM CST Fri Feb 28 2025

...ELEVATED WILDFIRE CONDITIONS IN THE MARK TWAIN NATIONAL FOREST
TODAY...

.DISCUSSION...

Forecast has been updated to nudge relative humidity values down
across the Mark Twain National Forest and to bump wind speeds up a
few mph. Expect warm temperatures, gusty SW winds, and very low
relative humidity this afternoon. This combination could result in
elevated fire weather conditions in and near the Mark Twain
National Forest. A strong cold front will move through tonight,
with much cooler temperatures Saturday and Sunday. The next chance
for rain will be Monday night, with heavier and more widespread
rain Tuesday into Tuesday night.
