Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
145 AM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Deep mixing will combine with seasonably strong southwesterly
transport winds around 25-30 kt to result in excellent
ventilation today. Scattered thunderstorms will affect west
central IL this evening and then much of central IL off and on
Wednesday through Friday. The strongest storms this evening may
produce gusty, locally damaging winds mainly west of the IL River
where there is a level 2 of 5 (slight) risk for severe weather.
