Tuesday 3/31/2026 - Extreme fire danger exists today. PLEASE do not burn anything today. We have limited crews during daytime hours and any fires started require multiple agencies and sometimes multiple counties are involved. Kentucky Divsion Of Forestry is active in the area they do have burn rules in place. From Paducah weather service: "Widespread elevated fire danger is anticipated today across the
region during peak heating.
Sustained winds between 10 to 20 mph with gusts 25 to 35 mph
along with very dry fuels are the main concerns. Isolated gusts in
excess of 35+ mph are also possible.
While minimum RH values this afternoon will range from 28 to 38%
across the region above critical values, the continued very dry
fuels combined with increased winds will make it possible for
wildfires to ignite and spread rapidly."
