FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR KANSAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
1235 AM CST WED FEB 18 2026
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 157 AM CST TUE FEB 17 2026
FOR TODAY: A RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS. STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
COMBINED WITH FALLING RH VALUES AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EXTREME GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER. DENSE MID/UPPER
LEVEL CLOUDS ARE ACTING TO LIMIT MAXIMUM WINDS AS WELL AS
MAINTAINING SLIGHTLY HIGHER RH VALUES. BECAUSE OF THIS, FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS MAY BE LIMITED SOME FOR OUR AREA. THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING, TURNING WINDS
OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AND USHERING IN MUCH DRIER AIR. THEREFORE,
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE EVENING.
FOR THURSDAY: STRONG POST-FRONTAL NORTHWESTERLY WINDS COMBINED WITH
MUCH DRIER AIR WILL LEAD TO VERY HIGH GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER AREAWIDE
ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
