Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern/Central MO and Southwest IL
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
303 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Today will be the driest day of the forecast as the temperature
warms but moisture recovery is delayed. Winds will be light out of
the southwest, helping to reduce the overall fire weather threat.
Winds increase out of the SSW on Friday but humidity will also
increase. A cold front drops into the area from the north Friday
night into Saturday where it will stall for the next few days. To
the south of the front a warm and humid air mass exists while to
the north it will be considerably cooler. Showers and
thunderstorms may form along the front late Saturday and again on
Sunday. The best chance for more widespread rainfall will be on
Monday when showers and thunderstorms are expected area wide ahead
of the next frontal system.
