Wichita and part of southeast Kansas will be under a catastrophic fire risk — the highest risk possible under the grassland fire danger index — as a unique weather event called a “bomb cyclone” makes its way across the Great Plains.

The massive weather system will bring hurricane-force winds, major flooding, blizzard conditions and worsen wildfire risk and storms in Oklahoma.

Another big spring storm system will cause strong winds, heavy snow, potential blizzard conditions, freezing rain, and severe storms across the US this week.
