Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
327 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Temperatures will be more seasonable through the remainder of the
work week with highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s through Friday.
The air mass will be dry, too, with moderately deep afternoon
mixing helping to pull dew points down into the 30s and lower 40s
resulting in afternoon RH values bottoming out between 25 and 35
percent. Precip is unlikely through the remainder of the week and
weekend.
