Special Weather Statement issued October 4 at 2:40PM CDT by NWS Lincoln IL
Effective: Sat October 4, 2025, 2:40 PM
Expires: Sun October 5, 2025, 7:00 AM
Due to ongoing drought conditions, relative humidity values dropping into the 25-35% range, and southerly winds gusting over 20mph...an enhanced fire danger will develop on Sunday. Burning is highly discouraged as any fires that form will spread quickly and could become hard to control. In addition to the fire risk, motorists should be aware of possible visibility reductions in a few spots on area roadways as dust from harvesting activities gets lofted by the gusty winds.

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.
