This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and

portions of north central Kansas.



.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.



Through 8 AM, a Frost Advisory remains in effect for mainly the 

western half of our forecast area. Please refer to the Advisory 

statement for more details



Near-critical fire weather conditions are likely this afternoon

across the area, due to the combination of relative humidity 

falling to as low as 15 to 25 percent, and winds gusting at least 

20 MPH.



A few thunderstorms are possible this evening mainly southwest of

a line from Lexington to Red Cloud Nebraska, to Beloit Kansas. 

Localized gusty winds are possible, but severe weather is 

unlikely. 



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.



Friday afternoon, another round of near-critical fire weather

conditions is possible across much of our area. 



Saturday afternoon and evening, at least spotty thunderstorm 

activity is likely across parts of our forecast area. Although 

there is still some uncertainty regarding potential storm

strength, it currently appears that a few could be strong to 

perhaps marginally-severe, especially along and south of the 

Nebraska-Kansas border.



Looking into next week, near-critical fire weather conditions

could again become a concern Monday and Tuesday.
