...FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR
FIRE WEATHER ZONES 027, 028, 041, AND 042...
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 027 Wallace, 028 Logan, 041
Greeley and 042 Wichita.
* WINDS...Southwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 16 percent.

* Additional Information... An abrupt wind shift to the north is
currently expected very late in the afternoon or early evening
as an Arctic cold front moves through. Wind gusts in excess of
50 mph are likely. Blowing dust may accompany the front,
producing reduced visibilities and potentially delaying
arrival time to any fires. If any fires are ongoing at the
time of the frontal passage, they would become extremely
difficult to near impossible to contain.
* IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Outdoor burning is not not advised. Repeating, outdoor burning is
not advised this weekend. Any fires that start are likely to
spread rapidly.
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are forecast to occur. Monitor the forecast for further updates,
and possible Red Flag Warnings.
