249 AM CDT TUE MAR 17 2026
DISCUSSION
LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS TO BEGIN THE DAY INCREASE FROM THE
SOUTH THROUGH THE MORNING WITH 20-25 MPH GUSTS EXPECTED LATE
THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. WHILE DEWPOINTS WILL RISE
THROUGH THE DAY, THE INCREASE WILL BE SLOW ENOUGH TO CREATE
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AS LOW AS 20-25% ACROSS THE FLINT
HILLS AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS, LEADING TO VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER
IN THIS AREA THIS AFTERNOON. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER
RELATIVE HUMIDITY SHOULD LIMIT FIRE DANGER FOR AREAS FARTHER
EAST.
THE DRY AIRMASS HOLDS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OF 15-30% EACH AFTERNOON. WEAK WINDS
SHOULD LIMIT FIRE DANGER WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, BUT TEMPERATURES
CLIMBING TO NEAR-RECORD LEVELS WITH ELEVATED WINDS WILL INCREASE
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SUNDAY COULD BE THE
MOST CONCERNING DAY AS A COLD FRONT BRINGS STRONGER WINDS AS IT
MOVES THROUGH, THOUGH VARIABILITY IS HIGH IN TIMING OF THIS FRONT.
