Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
255 AM CDT Tue Jul 22 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Low mixing heights and weak transport winds will make for poor
ventilation through tonight. In addition, fuels will take a few
days to dry out after the abundant rainfall received over the past
couple days. East-southeasterly transport winds will gradually
veer to a southwesterly direction tonight into Wednesday,
increasing to 15 to 20 kt west of the IL River Wednesday afternoon
leading to fair ventilation.
