665 FNUS53 KLBF 211950 FWFLBF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and North Central for Nebraska National Weather Service North Platte NE 250 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024 .DISCUSSION... Recent rainfall amounts of nearly 1 inch across most of western and north central Nebraska should help to limit fire weather concerns over the next few days. A brief dry period is expected Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning, before more showers and thunderstorms are expected again Thursday afternoon. At this time, it appears gusty winds on Thursday should mostly be along a surface boundary colocated with thunderstorms and rain. Rain chances return again this weekend, though timing and amounts remain uncertain. NEZ204-221130- Eastern Panhandle/Crescent Lake NWR- 150 PM MDT Tue May 21 2024 .TONIGHT...
