Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern/Central MO and Southwest IL
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
255 PM CST Wed Dec 4 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Gusty west winds will become northwesterly and even stronger through
the evening and overnight as a cold front moves through the area.
Temperatures will also drop 30 to 40 degrees overnight, leading to
lows in the teens to low 20s tomorrow morning. A few non-
accumulating rain/snow showers are possible this evening but
wetting precipitation is not expected. Tomorrow is not likely to
climb above freezing, but southerly flow will resume, and a rapid
warmup is expected Friday through Sunday. Humidity will remain
low through Friday, but will increase over the weekend. Wetting
rain chances continue to increase between late Sunday and Monday.
