Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
A combination of recent dry weather and winds gusting up to 20
mph at times will result in increased danger of fire start and
spread through this evening.
Please exercise caution if handling open flames or equipment that
creates sparks. Dispose of cigarette buttes, matches, and other
flammable materials in appropriate containers. Keep vehicles off
of dry grass and obey local burn bans. Most dry grasses, dead
leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire
quickly.
Kentucky law prohibits burning in the spring from 6 AM to
6 PM...February 15th through April 30th. Overnight burning is highly
discouraged at this time due to the very dry conditions.
