Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
258 AM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Temperatures are expected to climb back into the 90s for Saturday
and into the upper 90s to low 100s both Sunday and Monday across
the area. This will lead to low humidity across western Nebraska,
into the low teens to lower 20s each afternoon. However, winds are
expected to remain 20 miles per hour or less from the south each
day.

An approaching cold front Tuesday will bring a return of wetting
moisture chances, along with much cooler highs in the 70s to 80s
for middle and late week.
