Special Weather Statement until 06:00PM 
Strong southwest winds, low relative humidities, and unseasonably mild temperatures will result in a heightened fire danger this afternoon over northern Illinois, especially north of I-80. 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.
