It is not yet known how long it will take to extinguish a fire on farmland.
The woodchip fire at Oak Farm in Rugeley, has been smouldering for more than two weeks.
More than 150 residents packed into Rugeley Community Fire Station last night to question councillors and health officials.
Many said they were worried the smoke may carry toxins - fears acknowledged by firefighters.
The best chance of any sunny spells will be towards the west - highs of 16C (61F).

A Birmingham mum whose teenage son was stabbed to death three years ago is taking part in a special BBC Crimewatch programme tonight about an increase in knife crime.
Joshua Ribera, 18, was killed near a Selly Oak nightclub that was holding a party to commemorate Mr Ribera's friend - 16-year-old Kyle Sheehan, who himself was killed in a stabbing.
Quote MessageI've been to prisons and young offenders and it doesn't make sense - these are young people who have carried knives and used knives and all they have done is show me respect and remorse and sadness. It breaks my heart. I don't look at them and think 'you're horrible'.

Councillors in Birmingham have launched an investigation into the number of rough sleepers in the city centre after an apparent surge in the number of people without accommodation.
The latest estimate is that there are 36 people sleeping under the stars or huddled in shop doorways - up from 20 the year before.
Experts say the figures, which have only just been released and are based on a one-night head count last autumn, could be an underestimate.

People who've been asked to remove flowers and marble edging from loved ones' graves say they are ready to take legal action if the orders persist.
The longstanding dispute about Streetly Cemetery will be discussed at a meeting this evening by Walsall Council, external.
The authority says: "Walsall follows the widely accepted lawn principle for new graves which is similar to war graves that consist of straight rows of headstones and a lawn of flat grass throughout the cemetery.
"The majority of people will understand there needs to be proper management of the regulations in place which need to be observed to prevent these places of remembrance from becoming disorganised and chaotic."
