316 FNUS53 KLBF 012023 FWFLBF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and North Central for Nebraska National Weather Service North Platte NE 323 PM CDT Wed May 1 2024 .DISCUSSION... Showers and thunderstorms will develop this evening, with heavy rainfall possible across zones 209 and 219. Thursday afternoon, following the passage of a cold front, northwesterly winds 15 to 30 mph will coincide with areas of minimum relative humidity around 20 percent across zones 204 and 210. This may lead to some elevated fire weather conditions, with the main question being how much the recent precipitation will impact fire weather conditions. Chances of precipitation remain almost every day through next Wednesday, with a slight break from precipitation chances Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon. Relative humidity values will remain above critical thresholds during this period as well. NEZ204-021115- Eastern Panhandle/Crescent Lake NWR- 223 PM MDT Wed May 1 2024 .TONIGHT...
