Logan County lifted its outdoor burning ban Monday, and Warren and Barren counties could soon follow suit.

Two-thirds of the county received adequate rainfall this weekend; the mid-south portion received the least, said Judge-Executive Logan Chick.

He also said multiple July 4 fireworks requests factored into his decision to lift the ban.

Southcentral Kentucky has received a wide swath of rainfall since Friday, ranging from roughly 1 inch to 3 inches, said Joe Sullivan, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Louisville office.

There is a slight chance of rain this week, ranging from 20 percent to 50 percent, according to the weather service.

Barren County Judge-Executive Davie Greer said she would like to lift Barren's burn ban as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the solid waste coordinator is inspecting rainfall density in different parts of the county.

“Some of us got enough for it to be lifted and some didn't,” Greer said.

In Warren, an outdoor burning ban was ordered June 7 and continues until further notice.
