Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
337 AM CDT Sat May 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...

A beautiful Saturday is in store, with mostly sunny skies, less
humid conditions, and light winds. The light winds will result in
poor vent rates today. Breezy southerly winds develop on Sunday,
but multiple rounds of thunderstorms are likely, which will limit
burning opportunities. The wind direction may become chaotic and
unpredictable on Sunday due to the repeated thunderstorms. Much
of the upcoming work week will be dry, aside from a few isolated
precip chances on Monday and Tuesday afternoon (20% chance).
