DISCUSSION
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THE DAY TODAY. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS INITIALLY BECOME NORTHERLY AS
THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
BOUNDARY BETWEEN 1-3 PM GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM
SENECA TO COUNCIL GROVE. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, AND A TORNADO OR TWO.
A DRY AIRMASS BUILDS IN BEHIND TODAY'S FRONT, LEADING TO ELEVATED
FIRE DANGER ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL KANSAS THIS WEEKEND. FOR SATURDAY,
NORTHWEST WINDS SUSTAINED AT 10-15 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH ARE
EXPECTED AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FALL TO 15-20 PERCENT. WINDS
ARE LIGHTER ON SUNDAY (5-15 MPH), BUT DO BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY AND
LEAD TO WARMER TEMPERATURES AND SLIGHTLY LOWER RELATIVE HUMIDITY.
GREEN-UP HAS PROGRESSED ENOUGH TO LIMIT FIRE DANGER FOR THE MAJORITY
OF THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CLOUD AND OTTAWA COUNTIES WHICH
HAVE NOT RECEIVED MUCH RAIN OVER THE PAST 30 DAYS.
