Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
355 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Elevated fire conditions are possible across extreme southwest
Nebraska as RH values drop into the 15 to 20 percent range.
Otherwise, plenty of low level moisture due to forecasted showers
and thunderstorms will keep afternoon RH values above 30 percent
through the end of the week. Therefore, fire concerns remain low
at this time for Wednesday through Friday.
