Issued at 425 AM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025

Lingering showers this morning will continue to move
northeast through the northern Sandhills into north central
Nebraska. WAA strengthens and temperatures rise into the mid 70s to
low 80s. Light showers may develop this evening into the overnight
as the LLJ strengthens, however it should mainly be light showers
with minimal qpf expected.

A cold front will start to move through the area by late Sunday
morning into the afternoon. Temperatures across southwest Nebraska
into north central Nebraska will warm into the 70s to low 80s, while
areas behind the cold front, generally northwest Sandhills will only
warm into the mid to upper 60s. Winds will become breezy with
sustained winds around 20 to 25 mph and gust up to 35 mph in western
Nebraska. There will be some potential for elevated to potentially
near critical fire weather concerns across western Nebraska and will
have to continue to monitor if headlines are needed, but at this
time RFW criteria is not expected with Min RH will be around 17 to
25 percent across fire weather zone 204. There is also the potential
need for frost/freeze headlines on Sunday as temperatures dip into
the low 30s for Sunday night with the colder air behind the front.
