After a record-setting Saturday, Ellis County and most of western Kansas is under a high wind advisory and red flag warning on Sunday.
The K-State Ag Research Center in Hays said the 90-degree high reached on Saturday was a record high for the date.
A strong front entering western Kansas will bring strong southwest winds, with gusts up to 55 mph. The National Weather Service in Dodge City is advising against travel, as there is a high risk of blowing dust and increased risk of wildfires.
The wind will persist until after midnight, and the mercury again is expected to approach 90 degrees Sunday. A high of just 56 degrees is predicted on Monday, and the next potential precipitation will be Thursday night, the NWS said.
