Until 2025-03-18T05:00:00-05:00 • National Weather Service
Gusty south to southwest winds and low daytime relative humidity levels will result in a heightened fire danger on Tuesday across portions of northern Illinois, generally along and south of I-88. Quicker drying and dormant fuels like brush and grass will be particularly susceptible to ignition with strong winds likely leading to the rapid spread of any fires that do occur. Use caution with the disposal of smoking materials and consider postponing any outdoor burns to a different day.
