FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NE KANSAS/NW MISSOURI
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
156 PM CST TUE FEB 17 2026
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON OVER
EASTERN KS AND NORTHWESTERN MO, DUE TO STRONG, GUSTY WINDS. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT, WITH MUCH DRIER AIR
MOVING INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL LEAD TO HUMIDITY VALUES FALLING
INTO THE 10-20% RANGE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, WITH THE DRIEST
CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN MO. WINDS WILL NOT BE NEARLY AS STRONG
TOMORROW THOUGH. WINDS MAY GUST TO 25 MPH IN FAR NORTHERN MO
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS COMBINATION OF LOW HUMIDITY
VALUES AND WINDS WILL RESULT IN NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 136 WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
FOR THURSDAY, NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL SHIFT
SOUTHWARD, WITH THE GREATEST RISK AREA SOUTH OF I-70.
