A red flag warning remains in effect for the Flint Hills through 9 p.m. Friday, the National Weather Service in Topeka said, moving the risk of wildfires to "extreme."
Southwest winds will be sustained through the day at 20 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 55 mph possible.
The high temperature Friday is expected to be near 70.
By Saturday morning the winds will calm and the mercury will drop, with a high around 60 expected. The cool spell will be short-lived, as the NWS is calling for a Sunday high in the mid- to upper-70s on a sunny Sunday.
The next chance of precipitation in the long-term forecast is a slight chance of rain after midnight Tuesday.
