The combination of low relative humidity and gusty winds will
create an increased risk for fire start and spread this afternoon
and evening.
Many areas have had moderate to poor humidity recovery overnight.
Today, we can expect relative humidity values as low as 25 to 35
percent and southwest to westerly winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts
of 20 to 25 mph tomorrow afternoon.
Any ignition source may quickly get out of control given the
gusty winds. For your safety and the safety of others, you are
urged to avoid outdoor burning.
The Spring fire season for Kentucky runs from February 15th through
April 30th. During this time…it is illegal to burn anything
within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland between the hours of
6 am to 6 pm.
