This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and

portions of north central Kansas.



.DAY ONE...Late This Afternoon and Tonight.



Through around 7 PM, elevated fire weather conditions will persist

across our forecast area, due to the combination of north winds 

gusting at least 25 MPH, and relative humidity as low as 25-35 

percent. 



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



On Monday afternoon, near-critical fire weather conditions will

return to much of our forecast area, due to the combination of

south-southeast winds gusting at least 20-30 MPH, and relative

humidity falling to as low as 20-25 percent. The overall-most-

concerning combination of strongest winds and lowest relative

humidity appears to favor our western-most counties of Dawson,

Gosper, Furnas, Phillips and Rooks...where marginally-critical

fire weather conditions cannot be ruled out. 



Each afternoon between Tuesday and Saturday, at least near-

critical fire weather conditions appear likely within various

portions of our forecast area...whenever there is an overlap of 

winds gusting at least 20 MPH, and relative humidity of 25 

percent or lower. It is certainly possible that outright-critical

conditions could develop on a few of these days, so later

forecasts will need closely monitored in case more-concerning

combinations of stronger winds and low relative humidity become

apparent.
