Moderate to strong mid-level flow across parts of the central/northern High Plains will promote a surface trough from the northern Plains southward into the southern High Plains. Near this trough, strong heating and mixing will allow RH to drop to around 20-25% from the Texas Panhandle into western Oklahoma and south-central Kansas. Modestly enhanced winds just above the surface will help drive 15-20 mph winds (with stronger gusts) across these areas. Areas of drought-stressed fuels will continue to support the development of elevated fire weather concerns during the afternoon. ..Wendt.. 08/30/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
