FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO  
330 AM CST WED NOV 20 2024  
   
DISCUSSION  
 
DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL PROMOTE EXCELLENT VENTILATION RATES  
ACROSS THE REGION, BUT WILL ALSO THREATEN SOME DEGREE OF VERY  
ISOLATED ELEVATED FIRE DANGER. WHILE THE METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS  
FAR EXCEED THE CRITERIA FOR THIS THREAT, FUELS ARE STILL  
RELATIVELY WET FROM RECENT RAIN AND A TANGIBLE ELEVATED FIRE  
DANGER WILL LIKELY NOT MATERIALIZE. OBSERVED KBDI VALUES ARE  
UNIFORMLY LOW ACROSS THE REGION, WHICH FURTHER SUPPORTS THE LACK  
OF DRY DEAD FUELS AVAILABLE FOR ERRATIC FIRE BEHAVIOR.  
 
RH VALUES RECOVER TOMORROW AS TEMPERATURES DROP FURTHER INTO THE  
40S, THOUGH GUSTY WINDS UP TO 30MPH WILL PERSIST. BECAUSE OF THE  
SHALLOWER MIXING HEIGHT, VENTILATION RATES WILL BE SLIGHTLY LESS  
EFFICIENT BUT STILL QUITE GOOD. RAIN CHANCES REMAIN NEAR-ZERO  
UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH A GRADUAL WARMUP FORECASTSTARTING  
SATURDAY.
