Forecasters warn of possibility of severe weather Friday in eastern Kansas
A strong storm system is expected to bring chances for "severe weather and fire weather" Friday to an area that includes eastern Kansas, the National Weather Service said. "The overall pattern will be supportive of severe storms to the east of a dryline," said a graphic posted Sunday on the website of the weather service's Topeka office. "To the west of the dryline, dry and very windy conditions will increase fire danger." What remained uncertain was the exact track of the system and the placement of severe thunderstorm risks versus fire weather risks, that graphic said. "Do storms develop over eastern Kansas, or do storms stay east/southeast of us?" it said. "Right now, the second scenario is slightly more likely (60%), keeping more of our focus on dry, windy conditions with elevated fire danger." A graphic posted on the website of the National Weather Service's Severe Storms Prediction Center indicated Missouri, not Kansas, was considered likely Monday to see the severe storms. The weather service's Topeka office Monday issued a red flag warning lasting from noon to 8 p.m. Monday for the area in covers in north-central, northeast and east-central Kansas, saying "critical fire weather conditions" were expected there. The fire risk is expected to be exacerbated by winds coming from the southeast at 10 to 20 mph and gusting at 25 to 34 mph, said a graphic posted on the website of the weather service's Topeka office. "Despite the rain last week, grasses remain dormant and cured," that graphic said. Contact Tim Hrenchir at threnchir@ or785-213-5934.
