This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and

portions of north central Kansas.



.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.



A strong cold front will continue to surge southward through our 

entire forecast area early this morning. As it passes, most 

places will observe at least a few hours of winds gusting at least

40 to 50 MPH, with a few spotty gusts to around 55 MPH possible. 



Elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions are likely to

return today across our entire forecast area due to the 

combination of north winds gusting 35 to 45 MPH behind the front,

and relative humidity dropping to as low as 25 to 30 percent this

afternoon. 



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.



On most afternoons Monday through Friday, at least near-critical 

fire weather conditions appear likely within various parts of our

forecast area...whenever there is an overlap of winds gusting at 

least 20 MPH, and relative humidity falling to 25 percent or 

lower. At this time, no afternoons appear to carry significant 

concern for outright-critical conditions, but this could change

as things get closer in time.
