Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
330 AM CST Wed Nov 19 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Most of central Illinois will be dry today into tonight with
precip chances moving back in from the southwest Thursday.
Winds will be light on today, generally favoring a northeast
direction. RH levels are expected to remain high both days under
extensive cloud cover and very low mixing heights. These low
mixing heights and light transport winds will result in poor vent
rates.
