Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
205 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Gusty west winds will diminish during the evening hours, but gusts to
20 to 25 mph will continue into Thursday, resulting in continued cold
and blustery conditions. With strong transport winds present, ventilation
rates will be quite favorable Thursday. However, winds will decrease on
Friday and mixing heights will lower. This will lead to poor
ventilation rates for Friday.
