FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
114 PM CST THU FEB 26 2026
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE FOR MOST LOCATIONS
THROUGH SATURDAY. WINDS ARE LIGHT AND VARIABLE TODAY, BUT WILL
BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL FURTHER
BOOST TEMPERATURES ABOVE WHAT WAS EXPERIENCED THURSDAY, AND PUSH
RH DOWN TO BELOW 30% FOR A MAJORITY OF LOCATIONS. THIS WILL LEAD
TO WIDESPREAD ELEVATED FIRE DANGER, AND A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN MISSOURI AND
WEST-CENTRAL ILLINOIS WHERE CONFIDENCE IS AT LEAST 50% IN RED
FLAG CONDITIONS OCCURRING DURING THE AFTERNOON.
A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION ON SATURDAY, CAUSING WINDS
TO BECOME LIGHTER AND VARIABLE AT TIMES UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES. THE COLDER AIR WILL LAG BEHIND THE FRONT, LEADING TO MUCH
OF THE REGION SEEING TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN ON
SATURDAY. MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND A 70% CHANCE FOR A
SOAKING RAIN/WINTRY MIX IS FORECAST FOR SUNDAY.
