023 FNUS53 KILX 230808 FWFILX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois National Weather Service Lincoln IL 308 AM CDT Thu May 23 2024 .DISCUSSION... There is a slight (20%) chance for a shower or storm near and south of I-70 this morning, but otherwise dry conditions should continue through Friday morning when thunderstorm chances increase once again as a decaying line of storms nears the area. Despite deep mixing heights today, especially north of I-72, the transport winds running only around 10 kt (or less) will foster generally fair vent rates. These may improve tomorrow given stronger southerly winds, but more shallow mixing will limit them a bit. Scattered showers and storms tomorrow could produce erratic, strong wind gusts, torrential rain, and localized hail. Rain chances diminish Saturday, though it might take fuels some time to dry out wherever storms dump heavy rain on Friday.
