This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

This afternoon, near-critical fire weather conditions are likely
within most counties along and especially south of the Nebraska-
Kansas border, due to the combination of north-northwest wind
gusting at least 20 to 25 MPH, and relative humidity as low as 15
to 25 percent. Briefly critical conditions cannot be ruled out,
especially in Rooks County Kansas, where a few hours of wind gusts
over 25 MPH would be most favored.

Farther north, the fire weather threat in most of the Nebraska
outlook area, although not zero, will be held in check by lighter
winds, with gusts averaging under 20 MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Late Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday morning, there is a
chance for thunderstorms across much of the outlook area,
including the possibility for our first few severe storms of the
year. The majority of the outlook area is currently under a
Marginal Risk of severe storms, with a Slight Risk of severe
storms clipping far southeast portions of our area, within and
near Thayer County Nebraska.

Although still subject to some uncertainty in location and timing,
the initial threat for possible severe storms Wednesday currently
appears to focus mainly within 40 miles either side of the
Nebraska-Kansas border, between 5 and 10 PM. The primary threats
with any severe storms currently appear to be large hail and/or
damaging winds.

As colder air arrives on the back side of this weather system
especially Thursday night into early Friday morning, mainly light,
spotty snow accumulation cannot be ruled out. However, at this
time, any possible threat for more widespread measurable snow
looks to remain at least slightly north and west of the outlook
area.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
