THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND
PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
DAY ONE
OVERNIGHT.
THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
- SATURDAY FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS:
SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENING, WIDESPREAD
NEAR-CRITICAL TO OUTRIGHT-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL
OCCUR WITHIN MUCH OF OUR FORECAST AREA, DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF
RELATIVE HUMIDITY FALLING TO 20 TO 25 PERCENT OR LOWER, AND WINDS
GUSTING 20 TO 25 MPH OR HIGHER. AT THIS TIME, THE GREATEST
CONCENTRATION OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS APPEARS TO FOCUS WITHIN
COUNTIES ALONG AND WEST OF HIGHWAY 281, WHERE A RED FLAG WARNING
WILL BE IN EFFECT.
- SUNDAY HIGH WINDS ALONG WITH A LITTLE SNOW:
BY FAR THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN WITHIN OUR FORECAST AREA FROM
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING INTO THE EVENING HOURS WILL BE VERY STRONG
NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS, WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS COMMONLY 30 TO 40
MPH, AND FREQUENT GUSTS 50 TO 60 MPH. AS A RESULT, OUR ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA IS CURRENTLY UNDER A HIGH WIND WATCH.
IN ADDITION, AREAS OF MAINLY LIGHT SNOW WILL ACCOMPANY THESE VERY
STRONG WINDS ON SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING. ALTHOUGH ACTUAL SNOW
ACCUMULATION SHOULD BE MINIMAL IN OUR FORECAST AREA...WELL UNDER
1 INCH IN MOST PLACES...THE COMBINATION OF FALLING SNOW AND THE
VERY STRONG WINDS COULD RESULT IN AT LEAST BRIEF VISIBILITY
REDUCTIONS TO LESS THAN 1 MILE, ALONG WITH SOME SLICK SPOTS ON
ROADS.
- COLD WIND CHILLS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING:
ALTHOUGH WINDS SPEEDS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE WITH TIME, THE
COMBINATION OF STEADY WINDS AND SEASONABLY-COLD TEMPERATURES WILL
CAUSE WIND CHILL READINGS TO PLUNGE TO AS COLD AS AROUND ZERO TO
-10 DEGREES ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY MORNING...WHICH IS
UNUSUALLY-COLD FOR MID-MARCH.
- AT LEAST NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS SEVERAL DAYS
NEXT WEEK:
ALTHOUGH NO DAYS CURRENTLY APPEAR TO CARRY CONCERN FOR OUTRIGHT-
CRITICAL CONDITIONS, AT LEAST NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY IN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA MOST
AFTERNOONS BETWEEN MONDAY AND FRIDAY...WHEREVER THERE IS A
COMBINATION OF WINDS GUSTING AT LEAST 20 MPH, AND RELATIVE
HUMIDITY DROPPING TO 25 PERCENT OR LOWER.
