The National Weather Service in Wichita has issued a Red Flag Warning for extreme grassland fire danger. This is a potentially dangerous situation, which is in effect from noon to 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Extreme Grassland Fire Danger is forecast, with winds from the south at 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 55 mph.
Relative Humidity will drop as low as 10 to 15 percent.
Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly and become very difficult to control. Outdoor burning is not recommended. This has the potential to be a higher end fire day for this area.
A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.
Please be aware of your surroundings and be ready to take action should a fire threaten your area.
