Sunday 4/12/2026 - NWS Alert: Elevated conditions for wildfires are expected this afternoon,
mainly between 12 PM and 7 PM CDT. Relative humidity values will
fall to 25 to 35% this afternoon, and winds will be breezy from
the south, sustained at 10 to 15 mph with gusts of 25 to 30 mph
forecast. Vegetation is dry due to ongoing moderate to severe
drought conditions over much of the region.

Outdoor burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames
are discouraged. Please report all wildfires to local law
enforcement as soon as possible.

Breezy south winds, low relative humidity values, and dry vegetation will lead to an elevated risk for wildfires this afternoon, mainly between noon and 7 PM. Outdoor burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames are discouraged.

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."

We are asking for everyone to please refrain from doing any outdoor burning. Windy and dry conditions are making it an extremely dangerous day and we have multiple departments fighting a large fire in Reynolds Station.
