A faster-than-expected cold front moving into northwest Kansas is pushing down the risk of wildfires and dust storms, the National Weather Service in Dodge City reported late Tuesday afternoon.

The expected strong southwest winds are now expected to remain in the far southwest portions of Kansas at the Oklahoma border.

The NWS in Goodland is predicting record or near-record low temperatures in far northwest Kansas early Wednesday morning, with the mercury expected to drop below 20 degrees.
