THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
DAY ONE
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ARRIVE AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE

RANGE IS EXPECTED NEAR AND JUST BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE 11PM TO
1AM TIMEFRAME.

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY. EXPECT NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS OF

HOURS, WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 70 MPH POSSIBLE ACROSS AREAS MAINLY

EFFECT FOR OUR ENTIRE AREA FROM 6 AM TO 6 PM.
IN ADDITION TO THE INTENSE WINDS THURSDAY, RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL DROP TO AS LOW AS 20 PERCENT IN SPOTS, RESULTING IN
NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
