159 PM CDT TUE MAY 12 2026
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
WEDNESDAY EVENING...
...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
..RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CDT THIS EVENING
DISCUSSION
GUSTY NORTH WINDS 15 TO 30 MPH WILL DIMINISH LATE THIS AFTERNOON
WITH A RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CDT ACROSS FIRE ZONE 209.
WEDNESDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN ACROSS WYOMING AND
COLORADO, BRINGING A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS WESTERN
NEBRASKA, LASTING INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
DEVELOP BY LATE MORNING AT 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE
LIMITED, WITH DEWPOINTS ONLY IN THE MID 30S. THIS SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL ALSO LEAD TO WARM AIR ADVECTION AND A RETURN TO ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S NEAR AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 83.
WITH AFTERNOON HUMIDITY IN THE UPPER TEENS, THE STRONG SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE FIRE GROWTH.
THEREFORE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING (FROM 1 PM CDT UNTIL 1 AM THURSDAY). THIS
IS FOR AREAS NEAR AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 83, AND INCLUDES FIRE
ZONES 204, 206, 210 AND 219. AREAS FURTHER EAST, WILL REMAIN IN
ELEVATED TO NEAR CRITICAL. A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET WILL
PROMOTE GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS OVERNIGHT, AS HIGH AS 20 TO 30 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH AT TIMES. HUMIDITY WILL BE POOR, IMPROVING
ONLY TO 55 TO 65 PERCENT BY DAYBREAK.
THURSDAY...SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS THE
EAST, WITH RISING DEWPOINTS INTO THE AFTERNOON ALONG AND AHEAD OF A
SURFACE TROUGH INTO THE MID TO UPPER 40S, WITH MUCH LOWER DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA. A PRONOUNCED
DRY LINE IS EXPECTED, BETWEEN HIGHWAYS 61 AND 83. WEST OF THE DRY
LINE, WARM AND DRY DOWNSLOPE FLOW IS EXPECTED, WITH POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE PANHANDLE AND WESTERN SANDHILLS.
EXPECTING VERY LOW HUMIDITY VALUES AS THE DRY LINE TRACKS EAST,
WITH AFTERNOON HUMIDITY IN THE 10 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE. ON TOP OF
THAT, WILL CONTINUE TO SEE WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE FORECAST REGION, WITH HIGHS 85 TO 92. NEAR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN NEBRASKA THURSDAY
AFTERNOON, AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. HUMIDITY RECOVER WILL
ALSO BE POOR THURSDAY NIGHT, ONLY FROM 45 TO 60 PERCENT WEST OF
HIGHWAY 83.
FRIDAY...FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE WITH ELEVATED TO NEAR
CRITICAL CONDITIONS. AFTERNOON HUMIDITY WILL BE VERY LOW AT 10
TO 15 PERCENT MUCH OF THE AREA. WINDS LOOKS TO BE THE LIMITING
FACTOR, WITH A NORTHWEST WIND 10 TO 15 MPH, WITH GUSTS TO 20 MPH
POSSIBLE.
