...STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED TODAY...RECORD OR
NEAR RECORD HEAT EXPECTED THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND...

A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM. BOATERS ON
OPEN WATERS AND DRIVERS OF HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES SHOULD USE
CAUTION TODAY...AS SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE INTO
THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE. GUSTS IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE WILL BE
LIKELY. STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD OCCUR OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.

THESE WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH MODERATE TO EXTREME DROUGHT
CONDITIONS IN PLACE AND RELATIVELY LOW HUMIDITIES OVER MUCH OF THE
REGION TO PRODUCE AN ELEVATED WILDFIRE RISK TODAY. PLEASE CHECK
WITH LOCAL/COUNTY AUTHORITIES FOR ANY BURN BANS THAT MAY BE POSTED
FOR YOUR AREA.

IN ADDITION...BE PREPARED FOR A HOT MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND...WITH
NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S EXPECTED. DUE TO A
LACK OF VERY HIGH SURFACE MOISTURE...HEAT INDEX VALUES SHOULD STAY
VERY CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY IN THE MID
TO UPPER 90S.
