Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement issued March 19 at 3:17AM CDT by NWS Paducah KY
Very cold and dry surface high pressure have allowed temperatures to drop into the middle 20s throughout the Quad State early this morning. Some more sheltered areas could even drop into the lower 20s. Although the growing season has not officially started, tender vegetation could be impacted by these cold temperatures. Southwest winds will increase significantly later this morning, with gusts of 25 to 35 mph forecast in the afternoon. Along with relative humidity values falling into the 20 to 30 percent range, these gusty winds will create an elevated fire danger throughout the Quad State. If you are planning outdoor burning today, use extra caution and have fire suppression equipment ready.

Southwest winds will increase quickly this morning to 10 to 20 MPH with gusts up to 30 to 35 MPH and continues through the day. Winds will switch to the northwest as a cold front sweeps across the area this morning. The strong winds, combined with warmer temperatjres and low relative humidity values will results in very high fire danger for grasslands. Any fires that develop will spread quickly. The windy conditions will also make travel difficult for high profile vehicles and for drivers of vans, campers, and trailers. Avoid brush or grass burning today, use caution with farm and outdoor equipment, and do not carelessly discard cigarettes. If traveling, keep two hands on the wheel and drive with extra caution.

Special Weather Statement issued March 19 at 2:41AM CDT by NWS Lincoln IL
West-southwest winds will increase markedly...with gusts reaching 35-45mph from late morning through mid-afternoon. The strong winds may make travel difficult for high-profile vehicles, especially on north-south oriented roads such as I-55, I-155, and I-57. Due to the strong/gusty winds and low relative humidity values, an elevated fire danger will exist across central Illinois today. Brush and leaf burning should be avoided as any fires could quickly spread out of control.
