261 FNUS53 KLSX 281705 FWFLSX Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern/Central MO and Southwest IL National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 1104 AM CST Sat Feb 28 2026 While we are not likely to see critical conditions like yesterday, lingering dry air and occasionally breezy winds may support erratic fire behavior in a few spots this afternoon for brief periods. Winds will be variable across the area due to a stalled front, with south to southwest winds south of the boundary (Ozarks, SW IL), and easterly winds north of it (NE MO, west-central IL). Temperatures will remain warm today in spite of increasing clouds, and we may see a few isolated pockets of very light rain or sprinkles. Wetting rain is not expected. A cold front will push through the area overnight switching winds to northerly and eventually northeasterly. Cooler temperatures are expected tomorrow, and a round of widespread wetting rain and light snow is expected Sunday night through Monday morning. Additional rounds of wetting rain remain very likely Tuesday through the end of the week.
