Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Northern IL and Northwest IN
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville IL
343 PM CDT Wed May 1 2024

.DISCUSSION...

The dry, warm, and breezy conditions will continue through early
evening as westerly winds continue to gust in the 25 to 30 mph
range. RH values have fallen into the 20 to 30 percent range
across the area and will remain as such until temperatures begin
to cool after sunset. However, the wet ground conditions from
previous rains will continue to keep the risk for rapid
brush/grass fire spread low.

Our next weather system will begin to move into the area on
Thursday which will return chances for showers and thunderstorms.
While some isolated to scattered showers cannot be ruled out
Thursday morning, the better chances for showers and thunderstorms
is expected to be in the afternoon into Friday as a cold front
pushes through. Though, it should be noted that a warm front is
forecast to stall near the I-80 corridor on Thursday which
establish a gradient in temperatures and mixing heights across the
area with lower temps/mixing heights north of the boundary and
higher values to the south.

Additional chances for showers and storms are expected through the
weekend into next week. Though temperatures are forecast to remain
seasonably warm with highs in the 70s each day.
