Low humidity, gusty south winds, and rapidly drying vegetation
will create an elevated fire danger today over southeast Missouri
and in southern Illinois along and to the west of Interstate 57.
Any unattended fires could quickly spread out of control. Similar
conditions are expected Tuesday, as well.
