.DISCUSSION...
Plenty of low level moisture will keep afternoon RH values above
30 percent through Tuesday. Therefore, fire concerns remain low
at through this time. Warmer temperatures and drier conditions
return for mid-week resulting in RH values to drop into the 20 to
25 percent range across southwest Nebraska. Fire conditions may
rise into elevated for zone 210 as a result.
