FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
1224 AM CST TUE JAN 13 2026
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY, WITH
LOWS IN MOST LOCATIONS TONIGHT FAILING TO DROP BELOW FREEZING AND
THEN WARMING TO AROUND 60 ONCE AGAIN TOMORROW. WINDS REMAINING
SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH MUCH OF TOMORROW SUPPORTS ANOTHER DAY WITH
LOWER RH, WITH THE OZARKS SEEING THE LOWEST VALUES. BETWEEN
FORECAST VALUES (AROUND 30%) AND WINDS INCREASING IN MAGNITUDE
THROUGH THE DAY, THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES BORDER-LINE CONDUCIVE FOR
ELEVATED FIRE DANGER. INHIBITING FACTORS MAY BE HIGH CLOUDS
MOVING OVER THE REGION SOONER THAN ANTICIPATED, AND WINDS
SHIFTING TO MORE WESTERLY IN THE AFTERNOON. TUESDAY MORNING'S
FORECAST SHOULD HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THESE CONDITIONS.
TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY ONWARD FLUCTUATE DAY-TO-DAY, BUT GENERALLY
STAY AT OR BELOW NORMAL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE THIS WEEKEND
AS AN ARCTIC AIR MASS MOVES INTO THE AREA.
