This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.
This afternoon into tonight, the entire outlook area will endure
strong west to northwest winds. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph
are expected with gusts as high as 45 to 55 mph possible. For much
of the outlook area, the overall strongest winds will occur this
evening, when a few gusts could flirt with 60 mph. Wind speeds
will then slowly-but-steadily subside between midnight and sunrise
on Saturday.
In addition to the strong winds themselves, these winds could
contribute to several additional concerns.
First, this afternoon, the combination of the strong winds along
with low relative humidity values will result in near-critical to
critical fire weather conditions across north central Kansas,
particularly Rooks, Osborne and Mitchell counties where a Red
Flag Warning is now in effect until 8 PM CDT.
Second, at least patchy blowing dust appears possible this
afternoon in these strong winds, mainly across north central
Kansas, which could result in localized visibility reductions.
Finally, farther north in Nebraska, especially north of
Interstate 80, the strong winds will combine with passing snow
showers this afternoon into this evening to create at least brief
periods of reduced visibility. Although actual snow accumulation
should be less than one-half inch most everywhere that sees snow,
visibility reductions to well under 1 mile cannot be ruled out
for short periods, perhaps causing some travel concerns.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
On Sunday afternoon, near-critical fire weather conditions could
develop mainly within Nebraska counties along and north of
Interstate 80, due to the combination of west-northwest winds
gusting as high as 20 to 30 MPH, and also relative humidity
falling as low as 20 to 25 percent.
Although still several days away, it appears that another strong
weather system could bring at least another round of strong winds
to the entire outlook area Tuesday into Wednesday, with
precipitation potential during this time frame more uncertain.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation should not be needed through tonight.
