FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
1159 AM CDT SUN MAR 29 2026
RH RECOVERY WAS SURPRISINGLY POOR OVERNIGHT ACROSS MOST OF THE
REGION, WITH PERIODS OF ELEVATED FIRE DANGER OCCURRING WELL INTO
THE NIGHT. ANOTHER DRY AND GUSTY DAY IS ON TAP FOR MOST OF THE
REGION, PROMOTING YET ANOTHER DAY OF ELEVATED FIRE DANGER.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE THROUGH THE DAY WITH DEEPER MIXING IN
PLACE THAN YESTERDAY, THOUGH AT LEAST SCATTERED CLOUD COVER WILL
WORK TO STUNT DRASTICALLY-DEEP MIXING. BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY,
MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED WITH STRONGER SOUTHWEST
WINDS. DUE TO THE MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES, RELATIVE HUMIDITY MAY
REMAIN IN THE 30S AGAIN MONDAY AND TUESDAY, PARTICULARLY IN THE
OZARKS, IN SPITE OF STEADILY INCREASING MOISTURE CONTENT
(DEWPOINTS). THIS POTENTIAL WILL BE MONITORED FOR THE THREAT OF
ADDITIONAL ELEVATED FIRE DANGER. A ROUND OF WETTING RAIN IS VERY
LIKELY SOMETIME LATE TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY, FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER COOLDOWN AND CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES THROUGH INTO THE
WEEKEND.
