THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
DAY ONE
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
THIS AFTERNOON, WIDESPREAD NEAR-CRITICAL TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS RETURN DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF SOUTH-SOUTHEAST WINDS
GUSTING AT LEAST 25 TO 35 MPH, AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY FALLING TO
AS LOW AS 15 TO 25 PERCENT. THE OVERALL MOST CONCERNING
COMBINATION OF STRONGEST WINDS AND LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITY
APPEARS TO FAVOR OUR WESTERN-MOST COUNTIES. AS RESULT, A RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM 1PM TO 9PM FOR DAWSON, GOSPER, PHELPS,
FURNAS AND HARLAN COUNTIES IN NEBRASKA AS WELL AS PHILLIPS AND
ROOKS COUNTIES IN KANSAS. PLEASE REFER TO THE WARNING STATEMENT
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
EACH AFTERNOON BETWEEN TUESDAY AND SATURDAY, AT LEAST NEAR-
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY WITHIN VARIOUS
PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA...WHENEVER THERE IS AN OVERLAP OF
WINDS GUSTING AT LEAST 20 MPH, AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF 25 PERCENT
OR LOWER. IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT OUTRIGHT-CRITICAL
CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP ON A FEW OF THESE DAYS, SO LATER
FORECASTS WILL NEED CLOSELY MONITORED IN CASE MORE-CONCERNING
COMBINATIONS OF STRONGER WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY BECOME
APPARENT.
