Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
254 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Light winds will maintain a westerly component today, initially
out of the northwest this morning then gradually turning to
southwesterly tonight into Thursday. Deep mixing will result in
good ventilation today despite the light winds. Ventilation
decreases on Thursday as mixing heights lower slightly compared to
today. Precipitation chances are very low (10% or less) through
at least midday Saturday, then occasional chances exist Saturday
night into next week (20-50% each day).
