Fire Weather Watch issued February 17 at 1:45PM CST until February 18 at 8:00PM CST by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Tue February 17, 2026, 7:45 PM
Expires: Wed February 18, 2026, 3:45 AM

...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR WEDNESDAY... The combination of unseasonably warm temperatures (highs in the 60s), dry conditions (RH values around 15-25%), and gusty west- southwest winds (gusting around 35-40 mph) will lead to an elevated fire danger on Wednesday. While fuel moistures may be more questionable in some areas, local fire agencies indicate that finer fuels are primed and could lead to rapid fire spread in these conditions. For this reason, a Fire Weather Watch has been issued for portions of northern Illinois on Wednesday. Confidence in Red Flag Warning criteria being met is currently highest along and north of Interstate 88. The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a Fire Weather Watch, which is in effect from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening. * Affected Area...Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Lake IL, Ogle, Lee, De Kalb, Kane, DuPage, Cook, La Salle, Kendall, Grundy and Will. * Timing...From Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening. * Winds...Southwest 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. * Relative Humidity...As low as 15 percent. * Impacts...Any fire that develops will catch and spread quickly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions are forecast to occur. Listen for later forecasts and possible Red Flag Warnings.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
