FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
233 AM CST TUE FEB 24 2026
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE DANGER MAY EXIST FOR A FEW HOURS TODAY AS GUSTY
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AND LOW RH VALUES COMBINE WITH AMPLE DRY
FUELS ACROSS THE AREA. BY 8-9 AM, MOST OF THE AREA WILL BEGIN
TO SEE SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS SUSTAINED BETWEEN 10-20 MPH WITH
GUSTS UPWARDS OF 25-35 MPH (HIGHER END OF RANGE EXISTING ACROSS
EAST-CENTRAL KANSAS). WITH RH VALUES FALLING INTO THE 20-30%
RANGE BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON, EXPECT POCKETS OF VERY HIGH FIRE
DANGER TO EXIST, ESPECIALLY ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL KANSAS WHERE
WINDS WILL BE THE STRONGEST. CLOSER TO NORTH-CENTRAL KANSAS, A
WIND SHIFT BEHIND A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL FLIP WINDS TO THE
NORTHWEST BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
SLIDES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA, PRESSURE GRADIENTS WEAKEN A
BIT ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL KS AND SHOULD HELP TO
MITIGATE VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER IN THESE AREAS. MOST AREAS SHOULD
SEE FIRE DANGER DECREASING AFTER 3 PM AS WINDS WEAKEN. THAT
SAID, AFTERNOON RH VALUES WILL BE THE LOWEST AT THIS TIME, SO
STILL REMAIN VIGILANT AS ANY FIRES COULD SPREAD RAPIDLY GIVEN
THE DRY FUELS ACROSS THE AREA.
MINIMAL FIRE DANGER CONCERNS WILL EXIST FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
AS SLIGHTLY HIGHER RH VALUES AND WEAKER WINDS REMAIN COMMONPLACE.
SOME ADDITIONAL FIRE CONCERNS MAY BE REALIZED AGAIN FRIDAY AS
TEMPERATURES SOAR INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S BY THE AFTERNOON WITH
GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. AFTERNOON RH VALUES AGAIN DROPPING
INTO THE 20-30% RANGE WILL BE LIKELY. WINDS MAY BE ON THE WEAKER
SIDE (GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH), BUT COULD STILL PROMOTE DANGEROUS
BURNING CONDITIONS. ELEVATED FIRE DANGER COULD LINGER INTO
SATURDAY, BUT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS HIGH WITH THE TIMING OF A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BY THE AFTERNOON. STAY TUNED FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS IN THE COMING DAYS.
