This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Central Kansas,

South Central Kansas and Southeast Kansas.



.DAY ONE...Tonight



River flooding will continue across far southeast Kansas from 

Friday's rainfall.



Temperatures dipping into the 30s tonight may support patchy frost 

across portions of central and eastern Kansas through early Sunday.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday



River flooding will continue across far southeast Kansas through at

least Sunday night.



Very high grassland fire danger is expected each afternoon from

Sunday through Friday, with the exception of Tuesday, generally

along and west of Highway 14. This is due to above normal 

temperatures, low humidity, and gusty south winds.



Thunderstorm chances may return to the region by Wednesday evening,

and especially Thursday. Stay tuned as we refine the potential for 

severe weather with this activity.



.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...



Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight.
