Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville IL 421 AM CDT Wed Jun 7 2023 ...ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE IGNITION AND SPREAD TODAY...

Fires that ignite in these weather conditions can spread rapidly, making them hard to control. For this reason, consider postponing any outdoor burning.
