603 FNUS53 KJKL 201048 FWFJKL Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern Kentucky National Weather Service Jackson KY 648 AM EDT Wed Mar 20 2019 .DISCUSSION...A cold front will approach from the west today and bring a modest increase in southwesterly winds. This will help to bring warmer temperatures. However, moisture will be slower to increase, and relative humidity is expected to bottom out from 20 to 30 percent. Enough moisture should finally make it here to support showers as the front arrives and passes late tonight and Thursday. Dry weather then returns for most of the time Friday through Sunday.
