It appears overall that fore weather concerns will remain limited this coming week as ridging aloft eventually takes hold. A cold front does cross the area Monday night into Tuesday, but wind gusts behind the front Tuesday look to remain generally around 20 mph with lowest humidity remaining above 25%. Thursday could potentially bring some elevated fire weather concerns as south winds combine with afternoon humidity around 20% across northwest Nebraska.
