Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
154 AM CDT Sat May 11 2024

.DISCUSSION...

A cold front will depart to the east early this morning, allowing
high pressure to build into the region. That will favor deep
mixing and gusty northwest winds this afternoon leading to
excellent vent rates. Winds will back to the southwest on Sunday
and not be as strong. However, mixing heights will be upwards of
6 to 7 thousand feet during the afternoon favoring another day of
good to very good vent rates. The next chances for precipitation
will arrive Monday morning, with upwards of an inch of rain in
some areas Monday and Monday night.
