NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
252 AM CDT MON MAR 16 2026
DISCUSSION
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ALONG WITH A VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL CREATE VERY
HIGH FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTS OF 30-
35 MPH THIS MORNING GRADUALLY DECREASE TO 20-25 MPH BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL INTO THE 20-25% RANGE
THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WILL BE LOWEST AS WIND SPEEDS DECREASE. CONSIDERED
A RED FLAG WARNING, BUT THE OVERLAP OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY NEAR 20%
AND WINDS GUSTING AROUND 25 MPH LOOKS TO BE MARGINAL AND LIMITED
TO A COUPLE HOUR PERIOD. EVEN SO, THE DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS
WILL MAKE ANY ONGOING FIRES OR ANY NEW FIRES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL
AND BURNING SHOULD BE POSTPONED.
MOISTURE INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY, BUT SOUTHERLY WINDS
GUSTING AT 20-25 MPH ALONG WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES OF
20-30 PERCENT WILL CREATE ELEVATED FIRE DANGER. UNCERTAINTY EXISTS
IN HOW FAST MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE AREA AND IN HOW WARM TEMPERATURES
WILL REACH AS MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES MAY KEEP TEMPERATURES LOWER
THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST. BOTH OF THESE VARIABLES WILL IMPACT
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AND OVERALL FIRE DANGER TUESDAY.
THE DRY AIRMASS HOLDS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK, ALTHOUGH
WINDS LOOK TO BE GENERALLY LIGHT AND SHOULD LIMIT THE OVERALL FIRE
DANGER.
