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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A High Wind event is ahead for southwest KS during the afternoon
on Friday, as southwesterly winds turn northwesterly and increase
into the 35-45 mph range gusting to 55-70 mph. The most favored
corridor for these intense winds is along and west of US-283.

In addition, a Red Flag Warning is in effect for our far
southeastern zones. Despite minimum relative humidity likely
remaining just above warning criteria, the anomalously strong
winds will more than make up for marginal minimum relative
humidity, prompting the issuance of the warning.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Another day of dangerous fire weather conditions is expected on
Saturday as elevated northerly winds and dry air in the wake of
the strong weather system overspread southwest KS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
