...Critical Fire Weather Conditions Possible Sunday and Monday...

.A combination of warm temperatures, low humidity and wind gusts
of 25-30 mph is forecast to lead to critical fire weather
conditions Sunday. The strongest winds are forecast during the
mid to late afternoon hours. There is some question in the
duration of the winds however keeping confidence just low enough
to preclude from upgrading to a Red Flag Warning currently. For
Monday the strongest winds are currently forecast to be during the
mid to late afternoon across Wichita and Greeley counties.
