NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1252 AM MDT MON MAY 18 2026
DISCUSSION
NORTHERLY WINDS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 15-20 MPH GUSTING 30-40 MPH. A STATIONARY WIND
SHIFT LINE MAY (40%) SET UP NEAR KANSAS FIRE ZONES 27, 28, 41 AND 42
WHERE WINDS WOULD BE SOUTHWESTERLY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S AND
HUMIDITY FALLING INTO THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S RESULTING IN
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. IF THIS DOES OCCUR THEN BLOWING DUST
MAY ALSO DEVELOP WITH VISIBILITIES LESS THAN ONE MILE POSSIBLE. A
60% CHANCE THE BOUNDARY SETS UP SOUTH OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED COUNTIES
AND FIRE WEATHER IS NOT A CONCERN. WIND GUSTS ARE STILL FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO AROUND 40-50 MPH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
HOWEVER. SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY IMPACT COLORADO FIRE ZONES 252
AND 253 DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL MONDAY. SHOULD A FIRE START
ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO BE AWARE FOR NEAR FREEZING TO
FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
AFTER MONDAY, RH VALUES LOOK TO REMAIN IN THE 20S AND ABOVE,
MINIMIZING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF STORMS ARE
FORECAST THROUGHOUT THE WEEK IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
