051 FNUS53 KLBF 260843 FWFLBF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and North Central for Nebraska National Weather Service North Platte NE 343 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 .DISCUSSION... Little if any rainfall is expected across western and north central Nebraska during the next 7 days. South winds of 15 to 20 mph, gusting to 25 to 30 mph are expected east of highway 61 today. Afternoon humidity will fall to around 20 percent in this area supporting elevated fire weather conditions. Cooler air associated with a weak cold front Friday will lessen fire weather concerns. Thereafter, very dry air and temperatures in the 80s to lower 90s this weekend will pose elevated to critical fire weather conditions. South winds of 20 to 25 mph may develop across western Nebraska Sunday and critical fire weather conditions are possible. Dry air and cooler weather are likely Monday through Wednesday and it appears fire weather conditions will remain elevated. The risk of strong winds is uncertain.
