National Weather Service North Platte NE
419 AM CDT Mon Jun 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms Wednesday through Sunday have the
potential to produce rainfall or an inch or greater across parts of
western and north central Nebraska.

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected across western
Nebraska this afternoon. The concern is humidity between 15 and
20 percent.

Isolated thunderstorms are possible today and Tuesday. These
storms may produce little or no rainfall and gusty winds which
could spark grass fires across southwest Nebraska.
