FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOODLAND KS
1248 AM MDT FRI APR 17 2026
DISCUSSION
EARLY THIS MORNING, A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION. BEHIND
THE FRONT, WINDS FROM THE NORTH-NORTHWEST WILL BE GUSTING 30-45 MPH
THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY. OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE. RH VALUES WILL REMAIN AROUND AND ABOVE 25%, MINIMIZING THE
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERN. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AFTER
SUNSET.
TOMORROW THROUGH THURSDAY, RH VALUES, ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN
COLORADO, WILL DROP BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS. WINDS WILL BE THE DECIDING
FACTOR FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGHOUT THIS TIME
PERIOD. FOR SATURDAY, RED FLAG CONDITIONS HAVE ABOUT A 45-50% CHANCE
OF OCCURRING. AFTER THAT, WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE NEXT BIGGEST
THREAT.
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP BELOW FREEZING OVER THE
WEEKEND, WHICH MAY COMPLICATE FIRE FIGHTING.
