Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
319 PM CDT Sat Jul 6 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Isolated rain showers are expected on Sunday with drier weather
moving in for next week as high pressure builds into Nebraska.
However, plenty of low level moisture due to recent rainfall will
keep afternoon RH values above 30 percent through Monday. RH
values begin to drop across southwest Nebraska and the Panhandle
on Tuesday, but should still remain above 20 percent. Therefore,
fire concerns remain low at this time.
