Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
212 PM CST Fri Feb 21 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A warming trend will bring temperatures well above normal by
Monday, with highs expected to reach the 50s early next week,
and lows above freezing. Dry conditions are expected for most
of the next several days, although there is a slight chance
for rain mainly I-74 northward Monday night, and a 40 to 50
percent chance for rain Wednesday. Modest southwesterly breezes
can be expected on a daily basis through early next week, and
fair to poor ventilation conditions can be expected the next few
days due to modest mixing depths and transport winds.
