Wichita. There's a Red Flag Warning in effect right now, and the conditions outside are about as dangerous as it gets for fire weather.
On top of the fire danger, today's high is sitting near ninety-four degrees. It's going to feel relentless out there.
Here's where it gets serious. Tonight, Wichita is under a Level Two severe weather outlook running from mid-afternoon through after midnight.
The tornado risk is real but the specifics are still unclear. Isolated means not everyone gets one, but someone might.
This doesn't stop tonight. Monday brings a second severe weather outbreak with a Fire Weather Watch already posted for Monday afternoon through evening.
For today: secure anything in your yard that a fifty-mile-per-hour gust could turn into a projectile. Dress light for the heat but keep a plan for tonight's storms.
Wichita. Fire danger now, storms tonight, more storms Monday.
