Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
319 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures fall back to near normal in the 70s today before
moderating back into the 80s through the week. Critically low
humidity values are expected each day for portions of the Panhandle
and western Sandhills, with near-critical values expected
elsewhere. Southwest winds may gust to 25 mph across portions of
north central on Monday, otherwise winds remain light enough to
preclude a serious threat of Red Flag. Given this, elevated fire
weather concerns exist through the next 7 days. No significant
weather systems are forecast to impact the local area resulting in
a dry forecast continuing.
