FNUS53 KILX 061929 FWFILX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Southeast Illinois National Weather Service Lincoln IL 229 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025 .DISCUSSION... Northeast winds this afternoon will switch to westerly this evening and then to northwesterly early Monday morning as a cold front crosses the area. Behind the front, the combination of 20 to 25 mph northwesterly transport winds and deep afternoon mixing will result in efficient ventilation. In addition, afternoon RH values may briefly drop below 30 percent west of I-55 on Monday to favor burning anywhere the ground is beginning to dry. While there is a 20 percent chance of a shower east of a Bloomington to Effingham line Monday afternoon, the weather should remain dry for most of the area until Tuesday night into Wednesday when 50 to 70 percent rain chances return to the forecast. Northwest winds Monday will become light and fickle Monday night into Tuesday, and then increase from the southeast Tuesday night into Wednesday.
