FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
827 PM CST SAT FEB 7 2026
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SPEED UP OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT,
STRENGTHENING FURTHER AND TURNING SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY BY
TOMORROW. THIS WILL PROMOTE FURTHER WARMING ACROSS THE REGION
WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS ON CENTRAL MISSOURI. DESPITE THE WARMING,
LAPSE RATES WILL NOT BE VERY STRONG TO PROMOTE QUICK MIXING AND
TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT. ALL OF THIS PROMOTES POOR
TO FAIR VENTILATION RATES FOR SUNDAY. BY MONDAY, TEMPERATURES
WARM FURTHER STILL ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION WITH RH VALUES
FALLING INTO THE 40S BY THE AFTERNOON. THAT SAID, RISING
TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL STIFLE MIXING HEIGHTS (1000-2000FT BY THE
AFTERNOON) AND EFFICIENCY. THIS COUPLED WITH THE
CLIMATOLOGICALLY-LOW MIXING HEIGHTS TO BEGIN WITH IN FEBRUARY
WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED POOR SMOKE DISPERSION.
A COLD FRONT ARRIVES TUESDAY, BRINGING THE FIRST OF A FEW CHANCES
FOR RAIN THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK IN ADDITION TO COOLER, MORE
TYPICAL MID-FEBRUARY AIR. THAT SAID, THERE IS INCREASING
POTENTIAL FOR MORE DRY TIME WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY FOR MOST.
