Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement issued February 24 at 12:48AM CST by NWS Paducah KY
Strong gusty southwest winds are expected to develop later today. Gusts are expected between 25 and 35 mph. Relative humidity values are expected to drop to 25 to 35 percent in the afternoon. Given the very dry conditions across the region there is an elevated risk for wildfire/brushfire growth and spread today for any fires that get started. Exercise extra caution today in avoiding actions that could lead to fire starts.
Bitter Morning Start Leading to a Windy and Milder Afternoon
"A sharp transition will occur across Kentucky on Tuesday as a departing arctic high pressure system gives way to a potent southerly wind regime. After a frigid start with wind chills in the single digits, temperatures will recover into the 40s for most of the state by late afternoon. While skies will turn overcast, the primary story is the wind; southerly gusts between 40 and 50 mph are expected by the evening, particularly in central and western regions."
