FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS
258 AM CDT THU MAR 19 2026
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER EACH
OF THE NEXT THREE DAYS WITH DEWPOINTS MIXING OUT DURING THE
AFTERNOON. WITH VERY WARM TEMPERATURES FORECAST, RH VALUES LOOK TO
BE AS LOW AS 15 TO 25 PERCENT EACH OF THE AFTERNOONS. MEANWHILE
FUELS FOR THE MOST PART REMAIN DORMANT WITH ANY GREEN UP IN THE VERY
EARLY STAGES ESPECIALLY FOR NORTH CENTRAL KS. FORTUNATELY WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO REMAIN IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH RANGE EACH AFTERNOON.
SATURDAY MAY END UP BEING THE BIGGER FIRE WEATHER DAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD
FRONT. THIS COULD CAUSE WINDS TO BECOME STRONGER THAN WHAT IS
CURRENTLY FORECAST. THE PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO MESSAGE A MARGINAL
VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER DUE TO THE LIGHTER WINDS SPEEDS. BUT WE MAY
END UP NEEDING A RED FLAG WARNING FOR SATURDAY IF WINDS TREND EVEN A
LITTLE STRONGER. MIXING HEIGHTS THIS AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO BE
BETWEEN 3 AND 5 KFT. BUT LIGHT TRANSPORT WINDS COULD LIMIT DISPERSAL.
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING SHIFTING
WINDS TO THE NORTH. THE STRONGEST WINDS OF THE WEEKEND ARE FORECAST
SUNDAY BEHIND THE FRONT. BUT FALLING TEMPS COULD KEEP RH VALUES
ABOVE 35 PERCENT. STILL THE WIND SHIFT WOULD CREATE PROBLEMS FOR ANY
FIRE THAT MAY START ON SATURDAY. DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST THROUGH THE
FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. A BRIEF COOL DOWN MONDAY SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER WARM UP.
