Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
208 PM CST Sat Nov 9 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Recent rainfall will keep fire weather concerns low into early
next week. Tuesday into Wednesday confidence is starting to
increase in stronger winds moving into the region with a mid-week
system. At this time moisture looks to be limited, but could see
stronger winds with gust of 25 to 30 mph across the northern
Sandhills into north central Nebraska. The rest of the forecast
area could see winds of 20 to 25 mph. Min RH values will be around
30 percent across the Sandhills into western Nebraska and above
35 percent elsewhere on Wednesday and could lead to some elevated
concerns with the combination of strong winds.
