Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
259 PM CST Fri Nov 21 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Overall fire weather concerns appear low the next several days.
Highs this weekend will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s, but
humidity and wind should remain in check. 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 at this time appear they will remain below one
tenth of an inch.
