Good Sunday Morning,
A heightened fire danger exists for Sunday across the Tri-State area, as low relative humidity, combined with the current Severe Drought we're experiencing and highs that could approach a record of 89 degrees create dangerous fire conditions. (Interesting fact: Yesterday at 3 PM, the relative humidity was at 13...yes THIRTEEN percent - dewpoints were in the middle 30's with temperatures around 86°! Comfortable, yes - but dangerous for fires.) Remember, a few weeks ago several fires started in Indiana and Kentucky and at times got out of control...luckily, they didn't do major damage.
That fire danger may persist for parts of Kentucky on Monday, particularly near and SOUTH of Interstate 64. For Cincinnati, a cooler air mass begins to settle in, and humidities should increase as well. Unfortunately, this cooler air mass won't have much in the way of precipitation with it, in fact little to none. Also unfortunately, we don't see massive changes for at least the next week...I wish I had better news on that front but it doesn't look like there's any change, anytime soon.
