.DISCUSSION...

Northwest winds will gust up to 25 mph through late this
afternoon, especially north of I-80 with RH lowering into
the range of 30-40 percent. However, the continued green
up along with a persistent active pattern featuring periodic
wetting rains over the next several days will keep any fire
danger low.

The Grassland Fire Danger Index -GFDI- does not account for
precipitation that occurs or any snow on the ground. Please
make appropriate adjustments.
