Special Weather Statement issued October 5 at 3:35AM CDT by NWS Quad Cities IA IL
Effective: Sun October 5, 2025, 3:35 AM
Expires: Sun October 5, 2025, 7:00 PM
A combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, southerly winds gusting 25 to 35 mph, low humidity, and dry cropland will lead to elevated fire danger today. Any fires that ignite, especially in cropland, will spread quickly and could become difficult to control. Therefore, outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and care should be taken to prevent the start of accidental fires when smoking or operating vehicles and farm equipment around dry vegetation or crops. In addition to the fire risk, motorists should be alert for visibility reductions near farmland as gusty winds could cause dust from harvesting activities to get lofted.
