Monday and Tuesday continue to hold the risk of fire warnings, while Wednesday will bring chances of snow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn upper-level ridge of high pressure is moving east, which causes air to move downslope and increase in temperature,\u201d said Dodge City National Weather Service Meteorologist Jonathan Finch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fluctuating weather conditions are normal during early spring in Kansas, according to Finch. This reflects similar conditions as last week where residents of the Northwest Kansas region should keep an eye on the skies and forecasting conditions as they develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis time of year is peak fire weather conditions, though we\u2019re not forecasting anything critical,\u201d Finch said. \u201cWhen the wind moves downslope, it dries everything out. This time of year, dead or dormant vegetation can catch more easily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesday has a notable chance of precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a good chance we\u2019ll get something, it\u2019s just hard to say how much,\u201d Finch said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weekly Look Ahead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monday: HI 82 \/ LO 48 with a real feel of 79\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 10-20 mph<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire Weather Watch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuesday: HI 79 \/ LO 29 with a real feel of 79\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 15-25 mph, though winds could spike to up to 40mph<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire Weather Watch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wednesday: HI 50 \/ LO 24 with a real feel of 79\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 25-35 mph<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>61% chance of precipitation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday: HI 63 \/ LO 42 with\u00a0 a real feel of 36\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 10-20 mph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday: HI 64 \/ LO 33 with a real feel of 57\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 20-30 mph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday: HI 67 \/ LO 39 with a real feel of 57\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 10-20 mph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunday: HI 62 \/ LO 39 with a real feel of 63\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wind Speed: 15-25 mph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>More information can be found via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/ddc\/\">National Weather Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By ADIA REYNOLDS Tiger Media Network Weather in Hays this week will be subject to significant fluctuations.
