Special Weather Statement issued October 5 at 3:18AM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Sun October 5, 2025, 3:18 AM
Expires: Sun October 5, 2025, 6:00 PM

Southwest winds gusting up to 30 mph, unseasonably warm temperatures, low relative humidities, and dry vegetation will result in a heightened risk of grass, brush, and field fires this afternoon. Any fires that ignite may become difficult to control due to the strong winds and dry conditions. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Please heed any local burn bans. Take care to prevent the start of accidental fires when handling cigarettes or operating vehicles and farm equipment around dry vegetation or crops. Additionally, the gusty winds may cause dust from harvesting activities to be blown around, resulting in localized sharp visibility reductions. Motorists are advised to use caution when driving near farmland, particularly on east-west roads in open areas.

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.
