  expected.

* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central, and 
  northeast Kansas.

* WHEN...For the Heat Advisory, until 9 PM CDT this evening. For the 
  Wind Advisory, from 10 AM this morning to 8 PM CDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Small 
  tree limbs could be blown down too. Isolated power outages may 
  result. Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat cramps, 
  heat exhaustion, and even heat stroke.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high 
profile vehicles. Use extra caution while driving.

Secure outdoor objects.

Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose 
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning 
or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and 
heat stroke.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in 
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat 
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an 
emergency! Call 9 1 1.

Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car 
interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Topeka, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jun 21, 12:09 AM CDT, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Hot, humid and windy weather continues through the weekend.
  • A wind advisory is posted for Saturday and the Heat Advisory continues through Saturday.
  • Next chance for rain comes Monday. Areas north of an Abilene to Holton line have the better chance (50% to 70%) of rain through Monday evening.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 232 PM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025

19Z water vapor imagery showed an upper ridge over the southern
and central plains with a closed upper low over the Pacific
Northwest. At the surface, a low pressure system was noted
across western SD with high pressure over the eastern gulf. This
favored deep southerly flow and sustained moisture return
north.

For tonight through Sunday, there is little change from the 12Z
models and confidence in the forecast remains good. The biggest
change to the forecast is to go ahead with a wind advisory for the
flint hills and areas west. Models show a strong pressure gradient
of 10 to 11 millibars across the forecast area. This is supportive
of sustained winds reaching 30 mph. Additionally NAM and GFS
forecast soundings show winds around 40KT within a well mixed
boundary layer suggestive of gusts around 45 mph.  I considered just
putting the entire forecast area in a wind advisory but opted to
stay with the western two thirds where the pressure gradient force
is progged to be the strongest. Meanwhile models maintain a warm EML
with 700 MB temps ranging from +14 to +16C. This is expected to cap
the boundary layer from any surface based convection while upper
level ridging keeps shortwave activity to the west and north of the
area. So plan on hot, dry and windy conditions persisting through
the weekend. Have not made any changes to the heat advisory at this
time. Models show some slight cooling at 925 and 850MB by Sunday and
heat indices are forecast to only be around 100 degrees Sunday
afternoon. However the Heat Risk parameter which takes into account
time of year, still shows some risk to heat illness. So late shifts
may consider an extension even though heat indices are a little
cooler.

Cluster analysis of the 00Z ensembles shows there is not a lot of
difference from the ensembles and mean pattern. This lead to good
confidence in the forecast for the first half of next week. With
this in mind, have not strayed much from the NBM initialization. The
next chance for precip looks to be Monday afternoon and evening
as a weak boundary moves into northern KS, with the higher
probabilities for rain across the northern counties. Mid level
temps cool with the upper ridge sliding east and convergence
along the boundary should act as a focus for convection.
Instability look good ahead of the boundary, but bulk shear is
rather weak. So any severe risk appears to be pretty conditional
on local conditions. Perhaps there may be a risk for isolated
damaging winds given forecast soundings show DCAPE increasing to
as much as 800 J/kg.

For Tuesday and Wednesday the models prog a similar pattern with the
upper ridge just southeast of the area and southwest flow just
northwest of the area. Although there is less of a signal for a
surface feature to focus convection. So POPs remain in the forecast
ranging from around 10 percent southeast to 40 percent northwest.
There is a little more spread in the ensemble data for the end of
the forecast period. The 12Z GFS and ECMWF want to bring another
weak boundary into the area Thursday. The NBM seems reasonable with
the 30 to 40 percent chance POPs. Models also show the pattern
becoming a little less amplified and break down the thermal ridge.
This should allow temps to moderate closer to norms for late June.
