.DISCUSSION...
Overall fire weather concerns appear low the next several days.
Highs Sunday will generally reach into the lower 60s, but
humidity values and wind should remain in check. Lowest humidity
Sunday afternoon will be around 35% across north central Nebraska.
Strong northwest winds develop Tuesday behind a cold front. Again
though, humidity appears to remain in check and fire weather
concerns low. There will be a chance for rain area-wide Sunday
night into Monday. Amounts over around 1/10 of an inch will be
possible, especially along and north of I-80.
