KEY MESSAGES

- Cooler and drier air arrives and settles in through Wednesday morning.

- A Frost Advisory is in effect from 1 AM until 10 AM EDT Tuesday morning. - Frost is also possible Tuesday night and Wednesday night, with a few of the normally colder and sheltered valley locations likely experiencing a freeze tonight and/or Tuesday night. - Temperatures climb to 10 to 15 degrees above normal by Friday and Saturday, and potentially near 20 degrees above normal Sunday, with mainly rain-free weather expected.

UPDATE

Issued at 1005 PM EDT MON APR 6 2026

Have made adjustments to T/Td for the next few nights (either to lower T or raise Td) to allow for valleys which decouple to reach near saturation.

LONG TERM

(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 247 PM EDT MON APR 6 2026

Eastern Kentucky will remain under the influence of a surface high for much of the rest of the week, with continued dry low-level flow resulting in increasingly warmer afternoons, while nights will see good radiational cooling and thus cooler nights.

Toward the weekend, a northern stream system will push a cold front toward the vicinity of the Ohio River before likely lifting back north for the remainder of the weekend. Thus, low PoPs are included for Friday night into Saturday morning, but most if not all areas are likely to remain dry into early next week, with above normal temperatures continuing.

The combination of warming, with continued low humidity and rain- free conditions, will result in a return of increased fire weather concerns this week into the weekend.
