SPOT FORECAST FOR TAUM SAUK MOUNTAIN...MISSOURI STATE PARKS - DNR
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
746 AM CST WED FEB 11 2026
FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 0800 CST ON FEBRUARY 11.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
DISCUSSION
LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS REMAIN LIKELY TODAY, AND MAY SHIFT SLIGHTLY
TO THE NORTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, WITH PREVAILING WINDS
THAT ARE SO LIGHT, LOCAL TERRAIN INFLUENCES WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
CONSIDERABLE VARIABILITY IN THE WIND DIRECTION THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
WE ALSO EXPECT RELATIVELY SHALLOW MIXING HEIGHTS, BUT HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE BURN MAY BE EXPOSED TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER GUST
SPEEDS THAT MAY HELP A BIT WITH VENTILATION. OTHERWISE, THE
REMAINDER OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IS ON TRACK, WITH SEASONABLY
MILD TEMPERATURES AND LOW AFTERNOON HUMIDITY EXPECTED TODAY.
HUMIDITY RECOVERY IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY GOOD OVERNIGHT,
ALTHOUGH SOME HIGHER ELEVATIONS MAY REMAIN JUST SLIGHTLY DRIER
THAN THE VALLEY BOTTOMS DUE TO COOL AIR DRAINAGE. SIMILAR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW, BUT WITH SLIGHTLY INCREASED
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER MINIMUM HUMIDITY.
