FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR S/C NEBRASKA AND N/C KANSAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HASTINGS NE
357 AM CDT THU APR 16 2026
...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO MIDNIGHT CDT
TONIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE NWS HASTINGS FORECAST AREA...
DISCUSSION
THOUGH SPOTTY POCKETS OF BENEFICIAL RAIN OCCURRED OVER THE PAST
FEW DAYS ACROSS POCKETS (FAR FROM ALL) OF OUR FORECAST AREA, IT
REMAINS OVERALL-DRY AND SPRING-GREEN-UP HAS YET TO FULLY TAKE
HOLD IN MOST AREAS. AS A RESULT, FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN IN
PLACE ON VARIOUS UPCOMING DAYS. THE FOLLOWING FOCUSES ON FIRE
WEATHER DETAILS THROUGH THESE NEXT FIVE DAYS (THURSDAY-MONDAY).
- THIS AFTERNOON-EVENING:
ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL NOT BE OVERLY-STRONG THIS AFTERNOON-EVENING, THE
COMBINATION OF SOUTHERLY SPEEDS SUSTAINED 15-25 MPH AND GUSTING AS
HIGH AS 30-35 MPH, IN COMBINATION WITH AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY
(RH) BOTTOMING OUT 10-16 PERCENT ACROSS NEARLY OUR ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA (IN THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER ROUND OF VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WITH
HIGHS INTO AT LEAST THE MID 80S), ALL ADDS UP TO ANOTHER SOLIDLY-
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER SETUP. AS A RESULT, OUR ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
REMAINS UNDER A RED FLAG WARNING FROM NOON-MIDNIGHT. WHILE THE WORST
CONDITIONS WILL CERTAINLY OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS
EVENING, AND RH WILL RISE/RECOVER FAIRLY STEADILY AFTER SUNSET
ESPECIALLY IN COUNTIES ALONG/EAST OF HIGHWAY 281, RH RECOVERY WILL
BE NOTICEABLY SLOWER THE FARTHER WEST ONE GOES. IN FACT, ESPECIALLY
OUR FAR WESTERN COUNTIES (NAMELY DAWSON/GOSPER/FURNAS) ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO SEE RH GET BACK ABOVE 20% UNTIL AT LEAST 10-11 PM. AS A
RESULT, THE WARNING EXTENDS LATER INTO THE NIGHT THAN "USUAL", BUT
AGAIN THIS IS MAINLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SLOW RH RECOVER IN WESTERN
AREAS. PLEASE NOTE: ANY FIRES THAT MIGHT GET ESTABLISHED THIS
AFTERNOON-EVENING WILL BE SUBJECT TO A STRONG NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT
VERY LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
- FRIDAY:
ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE A MODERATELY-WINDY DAY WITH NORTH WINDS
SLICING SOUTHWARD BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT (SUSTAINED SPEEDS
COMMONLY 25-30 MPH/GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH), FORTUNATELY FROM A
FIRE WEATHER PERSPECTIVE, IT ALSO CONTINUES TO TREND
INCREASINGLY-COOL. IN FACT, OUR LATEST FORECAST ONLY CALLS FOR
HIGHS IN THE 50S ACROSS AT LEAST THE NORTHWESTERN 2/3RDS OF OUR
CWA, AND MAINLY 60S AT BEST IN SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. AS A
RESULT, RH IS EXPECTED TO HOLD UP AT LEAST SLIGHTLY ABOVE
CRITICAL LEVELS...BOTTOMING OUT NO LOWER THAN 25-35% MOST AREAS.
- SATURDAY:
ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE SEASONABLY-COOL WITH HIGH TEMPS ONLY IN THE
50S-LOW 60S, THE AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE A BIT DRIER THAN
FRIDAY...ALLOWING AFTERNOON RH TO DROP WELL DOWN TO AT LEAST
15-20%. AS FOR WINDS, THOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS FRIDAY, THEY WILL
STILL BE PLENTY BREEZY WITH NORTHWESTERLY SPEEDS GENERALLY
SUSTAINED 15-25 MPH/GUSTING 20-35 MPH (OVERALL STRONGEST NORTH
OF I-80/WEAKEST IN NORTHERN KS). AS A RESULT, MOST OF OUR
FORECAST AREA IS AGAIN EXPECTED TO MEET CRITICAL CRITERIA.
- SUNDAY-MONDAY:
SUNDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER "ONE DAY BREAK" FROM CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS, AS ALTHOUGH RH IS AGAIN FORECAST TO BOTTOM OUT
10-20%, WINDS SHOULD BE LIGHTER THAN THE PREVIOUS FEW DAYS WITH EVEN
GUSTS MOSTLY UNDER 20 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH, POTENTIALLY CRITICAL
CONDITIONS RETURN AGAIN FOR MONDAY AS WARMER TEMPERATURES RETURN WITH
RH FORECAST S LOW AS 15-20% IN MOST AREAS AND SOUTHERLY WINDS GUST AT
LEAST 25-30 MPH.
