Increased fire danger today, air quality unhealthy for sensitive groups

After a cold morning, where temperatures reached a low of 39, temperatures are expected to rise into the mid-60s today, according to the National Weather Service forecast.

The high on Easter Sunday will be 77, the weather service said.

This afternoon, there will be elevated fire danger, according to the weather service. With dry and breezy conditions, and relative humidity dropping to 25 to 30 percent, the risk of fire increases, the weather service stated.

Because any fires that develop could spread rapidly, outdoor burning is discouraged on Friday, the weather service said.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has warned that increased burning taking place in the Flint Hills area and central Kansas can lead to elevated air pollutant levels, with potential changes to the air quality index.

Today’s air quality reading is “unhealthy for sensitive groups,” according to AirNow.gov. The reading at 9 a.m. was a pm2.5 of 123. PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter, particles in the air, that may lessen visibility and appear hazy.

Those who have heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens may want to reduce their exposure by choosing less strenuous activities, shortening the amount of time outdoors or waiting until the air quality is better before they are active outdoors.
