Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois

342 AM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Winds will be light today, around 5 mph. The winds will generally
be out of the southwest. Ventilation will be poor owing to the
weak wind speeds. A stray shower can`t be ruled out north of I-74
this evening, otherwise mostly dry conditions are expected through
Friday. Southerly winds increase in speed on Friday to 10 mph,
resulting in improved ventilation. A cold front will result in
rain chances Saturday night through Monday (20-40% chance).
