.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will be low for the next several days with
potential for wetting rainfall just about each day and humidity
well above critical levels. One exception will be across far southwest
Nebraska where humidity will fall to around 25 percent late this
afternoon and winds will increase with gusts over 30mph, creating
enhanced conditions for locations where dead fine fuels may remain dry
and available to burn..
