Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
326 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low this week.
Temperatures remain near to below seasonal average this week,
which will help keep afternoon humidity values in the 40s
throughout the week. A cold front tracks through the region
Tuesday night into Wednesday, which will usher in cooler
temperatures and potential for additional light snow across
northwest Nebraska. While winds may gust around 25 mph out of the
north on Wednesday afternoon, fire weather concerns remain low as
afternoon humidity is expected to be around 60 percent.
