FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN/CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAINT LOUIS MO
128 AM CDT SAT MAR 28 2026
MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS ARE IN PLACE TODAY, AND BETWEEN THAT AND
RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM RECENT RAIN, HUMIDITY HAS BEEN SLOW TO
DROP THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER
INTO THE AREA THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON, AND HUIMIDITY WILL
CONTINUE TO LOWER AS A RESULT. IN SPITE OF THIS, AND THE BRISK
NORTH WINDS, ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED TODAY DUE TO
WET FUELS. TOMORROW, THOUGH, MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE
AREA-WIDE, AND ANY LOCATIONS THAT SEE WIND SPEEDS ABOVE 10 MPH
SUSTAINED WILL SEE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS IS MOST
LIKELY IN NE/C MO. STRONGER SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY
AND MONDAY, ALONG WITH MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER,
MOISTURE CONTENT WILL ALSO INCREASE AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH WILL
HELP TO SLOWLY INCREASE THE HUMIDITY AND KEEP THE FIRE DANGER IN
CHECK. STILL, WE CAN'T RULE OUT LOCALIZED ELEVATED CONDITIONS
SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY MONDAY AS WELL.
