484 FNUS53 KILX 230707 FWFILX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois National Weather Service Lincoln IL 207 AM CDT Wed Jul 23 2025 .DISCUSSION... Modest mixing heights will generally favor fair ventilation the next couple days, with the best burning conditions Thursday as transport winds increase to 15 kt from the southwest. There is a low (15-20%) chance for a stray storm this afternoon, with a better opportunity (40-60% chances) tomorrow evening into tomorrow night when some storms may generate heavy rains. Friday into Saturday, 30-40% storm chances linger as another shortwave trough attempts to flatten the ridge. Once again, some of these storms may generate heavy rains leading to a localized flooding risk.
