.DISCUSSION...
Fair conditions are anticipated today for Ft Niobrara vicinity as
the low pressure that brought showers and storms yesterday has
pushed into eastern Nebraska. Light north winds this morning will
gradually transition to northeast midday, east by early evening,
and southeast around sunset. Gusts should be limited to around 15
mph, while humidity drops to around 30% this afternoon and
recovers to around 85% tonight. The next weather maker arrives
tomorrow in the form of a cool front. Southerly winds and fair
skies start the day, then showers and storms develop by mid-
afternoon as the front draws near. A wind shift to west/northwest
will occur somewhere around 6 PM CDT, while gusts to 25 mph are
possible throughout the day.
