THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
DAY ONE
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
CRITICAL TO EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA THIS
AFTERNOON. A COMBINATION OF NEAR RECORD TEMPERATURES, VERY DRY
CONDITIONS, AND STRONG WEST WINDS WILL LEAD TO THE WIDESPREAD FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS. THE AREA OF GREATEST CONCERN IS WEST OF HIGHWAY
83 ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA, AND SOUTH OF I-80 ACROSS SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. FOR THESE AREAS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY ACROSS
MUCH OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED, THOUGH WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG AS
TODAY.
A QUICK MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR SNOW NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80 ON THURSDAY. CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT THERE WILL
BE SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION. STAY TUNED FOR MORE UPDATES REGARDING THE
SNOWFALL POTENTIAL.
SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
