FNUS73 KSGF 220919 FWSSGF Spot Forecast for Busiek Purple Trail Burn Unit...Missouri Department of Conservation National Weather Service Springfield MO 419 AM CDT Sun Mar 22 2026 Forecast is based on ignition time of 0800 CDT on March 23. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. Please contact our office at 1-800-762-4363, if you have questions or concerns with this forecast. .DISCUSSION...Skies will be partly cloudy with high temperatures reaching the lower 60s. Winds start out northeasterly but will shift out of the east near 12 PM. Sustained speeds will be under 10 mph with gusts just under 20 mph. RH will start out in the 40-50% range but will drop into the 30% range after 12 PM. RH values are not expected to stray too much off of the forecasted values or dramatically decrease that day due to the stable layer above 4000 ft that will likely prevent deep mixing. This will also allow for fair vent rates to occur. .MONDAY... TIME (CDT) 8AM 9AM 10A 11A 12P 1PM 2PM 3PM 4PM 5PM Sky (%).........8 26 44 47 49 52 57 62 67 71 Weather cov..... Weather type....
