Through around 6 PM, south-southwesterly winds will remain fairly strong, particularly within counties in our Nebraska forecast area along and west of Highway 281. Sustained speeds of at least 30-35 MPH, and gusts up to around 45 MPH will remain common. After 6 PM, wind speeds will gradually diminish to below concerning levels. Due in part to these strong winds, dangerous fire weather conditions will continue for parts of our area into early this evening, mainly west to northwest of the Tri- Cities, and also for southeastern areas from Beloit to Hebron. Please reference the Red Flag Warning in effect until 8 PM for these areas for additional information. Elsewhere, fire weather conditions will still be elevated to near-critical, but relative humidity will not be quite as low as within the Red Flag Warning. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. - Daily fire weather concerns: Each afternoon and early evening from Sunday through Thursday, at least near-critical fire weather conditions are expected across the outlook area, due to the combination of relative humidity falling to at least 25 percent, and winds gusting at least 20 MPH. On Sunday, there is a potential for widespread critical fire weather conditions across the entire forecast area. Please refer to the Fire Weather Watch issued for these areas for additional information. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ Pfannkuch
