The National Weather Service says there will be a very high risk for grassland fires in areas of central and south central Kansas for the afternoon.
Dry conditions and gusty winds have elevated the fire danger for an area west of a line from Russell to Hutchinson to Wellington. That covers Reno, Kingman, Harper, Pratt, Barber and Barton counties.
Outdoor burning is being discouraged and people are urged to be careful with all sources of fire.
