153 AM CDT WED APR 15 2026
DISCUSSION
OVER THE NEXT TWO PERIODS, HIGH FIRE DANGER WILL BE IN PLACE
OVER CENTRAL INTO NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN KANSAS AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.
TODAY, THE WINDS WILL BE THE STRONGEST OVER WESTERN AREAS WHICH
WILL ALSO SEE THE LOWEST MINRH VALUES INTO THE AFTERNOON RANGING
INTO THE UPPER 20 PERCENT RANGE. MIXING INTO THE AFTERNOON SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENTLY DEEP TO MAINTAIN EXCELLENT SMOKE DISPERSAL RATES.
THURSDAY, DRYER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE POST COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
EXPECT LOWER MINRH VALUES INTO THE LOW 20 PERCENT RANGE BUT ALSO
OVERALL LOWER WINDS. WITH RECENT RAINFALL OVER SOME OF THE NORTH-
CENTRAL COUNTIES, GREEN-UP SHOULD CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. AGAIN,
EXCELLENT SMOKE DISPERSAL RATES WILL BE IN PLACE WITH DEEP MIXING
INTO THE AFTERNOON.
