FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR WESTERN
AND NORTH CENTRAL FOR NEBRASKA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
313 AM CDT FRI JUL 25 2025
DISCUSSION
A RETURN OF VERY WARM TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT
WEEK (UPPER 90S TO LOW 100S) WILL BRING LOW HUMIDITY VALUES (IN
THE TEENS) TO THE EASTERN PANHANDLE AND WESTERN SANDHILLS.
HOWEVER, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 20 MILES PER HOUR EACH
DAY. IN ADDITION, RECENT RAINFALL SHOULD KEEP FIRE CONCERNS
LOWERED ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
A COLD FRONT THEN PASSES THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY, BRINGING A
RETURN OF NEAR TO BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND A RETURN OF
WETTING MOISTURE POTENTIAL.
