This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central Kansas,
south central Kansas, southwest Kansas, and west central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

A Red Flag Warning is in effect today from 1 PM to 8 PM. The
southern counties with relative humidities as low as 8% and wind
gusts up to 30 mph.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

On Tuesday, a Red Flag Warning is in effect from 1 PM to 9 PM for
all counties. Relative humidities as low as 10% and winds up to
40 mph and gusts up to 55 mph.

On Wednesday the CWA is split between a high wind watch and a
winter storm watch. There is great confidence in the very strong
winds, but snowfall extent continues to hold some uncertainty. As
Wednesday approaches it is expected that they both will be
upgraded to high wind warning and a blizzard warning respectively.
Whether the warnings take the exact shape of the watches remains
to be seen.

Spotter activation is not expected to be needed.
