Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern/Central MO and Southwest IL
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1024 PM CDT Sun Oct 12 2025
Warm and dry conditions will continue through the week, with the
only chance for rain worth noting arriving late Friday at the
earliest. Winds will be fairly light and generally easterly to
start this next work week, but gradually shift out of the south
as temperatures warm. Minimum RH values will remain elevated
through Tuesday before gradually dropping mid-week through
Friday. Warming air aloft will keep mixing height unusually low
for mid-October, which will act with weak transport winds to make
smoke dispersion generally poor. Winds will begin to strenghten
along with the lowering RH trends Thursday into Friday, but no
erratic fire behavior appears likely at this point. The best
chance for widespread rain arrives late Friday into Saturday
along a cold front, but how much rain is still quite uncertain.
