A FIRE WEATHER WATCH has been issued for all of northern Illinois beginning Wednesday morning and lasting through the evening. Conditions throughout the day will become favorable for quickly spreading fires.
Following a few scattered showers and isolated rumbles of thunder Tuesday night, skies will quickly clear during the morning Wednesday. As they do, west/southwest winds will increase as a drier air mass moves in, causing relative humidity values to fall below 25 percent. The combination of a warm temperatures, dry conditions, and gusty winds will allow any fire that develops to spread quickly.
Outdoor burning of any kind is not recommended Wednesday, and it is advised to be very cautious with the disposal of any burning materials.
