THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA.
DAY ONE
TODAY AND TONIGHT.
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA TODAY. GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 MPH ARE EXPECTED, WITH PEAK
GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH.
THE STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH FALLING SNOW AND EXISTING SNOW MAY
CREATE AREAS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY FROM BLOWING SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS
OF NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA TODAY. BE PREPARED FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING
VISIBILITY AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
THE STRONG WINDS ALSO BRING THE RISK FOR ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE PANHANDLE, WESTERN SANDHILLS, AND SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA. ANY FIRE STARTS WITH THESE STRONG WINDS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR RAPID SPREAD.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
SUBZERO WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY MORNING, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS
EAST OF HIGHWAY 83. THE COLDEST WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL NEBRASKA, WHERE WIND CHILLS OF 10 TO 15 BELOW ZERO ARE
POSSIBLE.
ADDITIONAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS RETURN ON TUESDAY DUE TO A
COMBINATION OF WARMER TEMPERATURES, LOW HUMIDITY, AND GUSTY WINDS.
