THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
DAY ONE
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD FOR AT LEAST MARGINALLY-CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS, OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA IS UNDER A RED FLAG
WARNING FROM NOON UNTIL 9 PM. PLEASE REFER TO THE WARNING
STATEMENT FOR MORE DETAILS.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
- FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS:
ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING, AT LEAST NEAR-CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF OUR FORECAST
AREA, DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF WINDS GUSTING AT LEAST 20 MPH, AND
RELATIVE HUMIDITY FALLING TO AT LEAST 25 PERCENT. HOWEVER, OUR
NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS COUNTIES CARRY THE GREATEST CONCERN FOR
POTENTIALLY HAVING OUTRIGHT-CRITICAL CONDITIONS, GIVEN THAT THE
OVERALL-STRONGEST WINDS AND LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITY ARE FORECAST
TO OCCUR THERE. AS A RESULT, A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED
FROM NOON UNTIL 9 PM TUESDAY FOR OUR KANSAS FORECAST AREA. PLEASE
REFER TO THE WATCH STATEMENT FOR MORE DETAILS.
BETWEEN WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY, AT LEAST NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON WITHIN AT LEAST
PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA. A FEW OF THESE DAYS COULD ALSO
FEATURE OUTRIGHT-CRITICAL CONDITIONS, WITH THURSDAY CURRENTLY OF
OVERALL-GREATEST CONCERN FOR THE MOST WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF
POTENTIAL CRITICAL CONDITIONS.
- THUNDERSTORM CHANCES:
OUR NEXT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARRIVE TO AT LEAST PORTIONS OF OUR
FORECAST AREA LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
ALTHOUGH SEVERE STORMS CURRENTLY APPEAR OVERALL-UNLIKELY, A FEW
STRONGER STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND/OR GUSTY WINDS
APPEAR POSSIBLE.
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THEN ARRIVE TO PRIMARILY
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. IT IS STILL TOO SOON TO DETERMINE WHETHER A THREAT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MIGHT EXIST WITHIN OUR AREA, OR INSTEAD
CONCENTRATE SLIGHTLY OFF TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST.
