240 FNUS53 KJKL 021951 FWFJKL Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern Kentucky National Weather Service Jackson KY 351 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024 .DISCUSSION...An area of high pressure will depart to the east and southeast of the area tonight and Friday and allow a cold front to approach. The front will gradually work across the area during the first half of the weekend, while another front may move to near the OH River and stall to end the weekend. A series of passing disturbances will interact with these boundaries to bring shower and thunderstorm chances this weekend. The stalled boundary should lift north as a warm front on Monday, though another cold front may sag toward the OH River Valley during the middle to latter half of next week. Passing disturbances, the boundaries, and daytime heating will lead to chances for showers and thunderstorms at times, generally peaking each afternoon and evening.
