...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.
