NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
304 AM CST THU DEC 8 2022
DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE RELATIVELY LOW THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE
FORECAST AREA EXPERIENCES ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER AND
HUMIDITY VALUES REMAINING WELL ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. WITH
THAT SAID, THERE WILL BE BOUTS OF GUSTIER WINDS, PARTICULARLY
TODAY IN THE PANHANDLE (WESTERLY AT 25+ MPH) AND SUNDAY IN CENTRAL
NEBRASKA (SOUTHERLY AT 25 MPH). PRECIPITATION WITH TODAY'S SYSTEM
WILL COMPRISE OF FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1-3" NEAR/NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20 AND A GLAZE OF
ICE NEAR/EAST OF HIGHWAY 83. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL APPROACH
WESTERN NEBRASKA MONDAY INTO TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK AND WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS AND ACCUMULATING SNOW. DETAILS
REGARDING TIMING AND AMOUNTS WILL BECOME MORE CLEAR IN THE COMING
DAYS.
