FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
139 AM CST SAT FEB 28 2026
AS WINDS WEAKEN THIS EVENING AND TEMPERATURES COOL, RED FLAG AND
ELEVATED FIRE DANGER CONDITIONS WILL DISSIPATE. A DRY COLD FRONT
PASSING THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WILL CAUSE
LIGHT WINDS TO BECOME VARIABLE IN DIRECTION THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS.
PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW AS TEMPERATURES FOR MOST
LOCATIONS WARM ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN AND WINDS TURN TO OUT OF
THE SOUTH. THIS WILL HELP BRING SOME MOISTURE INTO THE REGION,
THOUGH RH WILL STILL DROP TO AROUND 30% ACROSS NORTHEASTERN
MISSOURI, WEST- CENTRAL ILLINOIS, AND THE OZARKS. IN THESE AREAS,
CONDITIONS WILL BRIEFLY HIT ELEVATED FIRE DANGER, WITH WINDS
BEING THE CURRENT LIMITING FACTOR FOR A GREATER THREAT.
ANOTHER STRONGER COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY
EVENING, BRINING COLD AIR TO THE REGION FOR SUNDAY. A WIDESPREAD
SOAKING RAIN AND WINTRY MIX IS THEN EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING, WITH ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF
RAINFALL EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEK.
