Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
118 AM CST Sun Feb 23 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Southwest winds will bring milder air into the region, with the
mild weather lasting much of the upcoming week. Ventilation
rates will be on the poor side through Monday, due to relatively
low mixing heights, despite daytime surface winds frequently above
10 mph. Small chances of rain are expected Monday night, mainly
north of I-74, with scattered light rain showers over more of
central and southeast IL Wednesday and Wednesday evening.
