314 FNUS53 KLBF 231932 FWFLBF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western and North Central for Nebraska National Weather Service North Platte NE 232 PM CDT Mon Sep 23 2024 .DISCUSSION... Passage of a weak cold front may bring isolated to widely scattered showers to central and western Nebraska tonight, though the potential for wetting rainfall is quite low. The overall weather pattern looks to bring warm and dry conditions with a bit of a breeze to central and western Nebraska for the next several days. While humidity is generally expected to remain above critical levels, minimum humidity will drop below 30 percent each day from the sandhills into the panhandle with the expectation for elevated fire weather conditions for much of the area. Tuesday and particularly Thursday look to offer the most potential for gusty conditions. Probabilistic guidance shows better than a 50 percent chance for gusts of 20 to 25mph tomorrow afternoon across much of the region. On Thursday probabilistic guidance shows better than a 50 percent chance for gusts up to 30mph north of Hwy 2 and mainly up around the Hwy 20 corridor. While there is some uncertainty as to where the greatest overlap of lowest humidity of 20 percent or lower and strongest gusts will occur, fire zones 208 and northern portions of zones 204 and 206 will be monitored closely.
