Nebraska health officials expect more smoke this spring from the annual Flint Hills burning season in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Large amounts of moisture last growing season spurred plant growth, which could mean more burning in the next four to eight weeks, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

Another round of high fire danger, severe

Several areas of Kansas including Wichita are poised to see yet another round of high fire danger Tuesday. The National Weather Service in Wichita issued a wind advisory and red flag warning for most of Tuesday. A high temperature of 84 is expected with wind gusts of up to 55 mph.

Air quality will likely be affected through the weekend thanks to prescribed burns in Kansas and Oklahoma.
