209 AM CDT SAT APR 18 2026
DISCUSSION
ELEVATED FIRE DANGER IS EXPECTED ALONG HIGHWAY 81 IN NORTH-CENTRAL
KANSAS THIS WEEKEND. FOR TODAY, NORTHWEST WINDS SUSTAINED AT 10-15
MPH BECOME GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
KANSAS WHERE GUSTS COULD REACH 30 MPH. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FALL
TO AROUND 20 PERCENT IN THIS AREA AS WELL. FIRE PARTNERS INDICATE
GREEN-UP HAS PROGRESSED ENOUGH TO LIMIT FIRE DANGER FOR THE MAJORITY
OF THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HIGHWAY 81 CORRIDOR WHERE FUELS
ARE STILL SUPPORTIVE OF DANGEROUS FIRE BEHAVIOR. EVEN AFTER INCREASING
GUSTS FOR THIS AFTERNOON, THE RANGELAND FIRE DANGER INDEX REMAINS
IN THE VERY HIGH CATEGORY. WILL NOT ISSUE A RED FLAG WARNING, BUT
BURNING IS DISCOURAGED TODAY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. WINDS
ARE LIGHTER ON SUNDAY (5-15 MPH), BUT DO BECOME WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY,
LEADING TO WARMER TEMPERATURES AND SLIGHTLY LOWER RELATIVE
HUMIDITY AROUND 15 PERCENT IN NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS. WEAKER WINDS
SHOULD PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR A RED FLAG WARNING.
