NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
334 AM CDT THU APR 23 2026
DISCUSSION
WHILE HUMIDITY IS HIGH THIS MORNING, A DRYLINE/COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. VERY DRY AIR WILL EXIST
BEHIND THIS FEATURE, WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES QUICKLY FALLING
TO 15-20 PERCENT, PERHAPS AS LOW AS 10 PERCENT DEPENDING ON THE
SPEED OF THE BOUNDARY. HOW FAR EAST THE FRONT WILL PUSH REMAINS IN
QUESTION, BUT CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED IN THIS FRONT REACHING AT
LEAST REPUBLIC, CLOUD, AND OTTAWA COUNTIES, POTENTIALLY AS FAR EAST
AS WASHINGTON, CLAY, AND DICKINSON COUNTIES. WINDS SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE BOUNDARY, BUT ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY
WEAK, GENERALLY 10-15 MPH. THIS WILL PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR A RED
FLAG WARNING, BUT WILL STILL CREATE VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WINDS BECOME NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES FALL NEAR 20 PERCENT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BUT WEAK WINDS OF 10-15 MPH WILL LIMIT FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS.
