The Flint Hills will see the mercury tick into the mid-80s during a sunny week, the National Weather Service in Topeka said.
That temperature rise, however, will be accompanied by strong and sustained south winds, which will make outdoor burning an increased risk as dry conditions persist.
The high Tuesday is expected to hit 80 degrees, warming to the mid-80s on Wednesday and Thursday. Winds will be sustained at 20 to 25 mph, gusting up to 40 mph.
Friday could be some moisture to the region. There is a 20 percent chance of showers in the early morning hours, increasing to 50 percent by Friday night and into Saturday.
