Gusty southwest winds were slowly decreasing early this evening as the humidity increases. Critical fire weather conditions are no longer expected so the Red Flag Warning will be allowed to expire. Outdoor burning is still discouraged overnight given that a cold front crossing southwest Kansas between midnight and 6 am will bring an abrupt change in the winds along with a brief period of wind gusts greater than 50 mph being possible behind this front. $$ For more information from NOAA/National weather service visit... http://weather.gov/ddc
