Carter, KY Fire Weather Outlook

 Fire Weather Planning Forecast

 .DISCUSSION...
 Showers and some thunderstorms will continue today. By late 
 afternoon and into the evening we will likely see a lull in activity 
 but by early Wednesday morning things ramp up once again. No severe 
 weather is expected today, however we could see some isolated 
 instances of flooding. This should be minor in nature due to the 
 lack of rainfall we have been receiving although areas that are 
 prone to flooding or are in low lying and poor drainage areas may 
 have issues under repeated activity.  
 
 Stronger thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and evening could produce 
 damaging wind gusts. In addition, there is a threat for flash 
 flooding on Wednesday. 
 
 The chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue through the 
 end of the work week. Temperatures will be near seasonable values.
