Rain showers exit this morning with mostly sunny skies and cool temps today in the 50s. Drier air increasing as a result of gusty north winds at 15 to 25 mph will bring very high fire danger conditions during the afternoon. Humidity falls much lower on Saturday as southerly winds return at 15 to 20 mph. Very high to extreme fire danger conditions are likely in the afternoon. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect Saturday for portions of north central Kansas. An unsettled pattern increases thunderstorm chances late Sunday into next week with temps warming back into the 70s.
