Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
219 PM CST Sat Nov 23 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low over the next several days across
western and north central Nebraska. Temperatures will begin to
trend colder starting Sunday, continuing into next weekend. Winds
will be strongest Sunday afternoon as a cold front tracks through
the area. Wind gusts in excess of 20 mph will be common, with the
strongest gusts nearing 35 mph expected across northern Nebraska.
Relative humidity Sunday afternoon will be as low as 30 to 60
percent, precluding a serious threat of Red Flag conditions. Light
snow/flurries are possible Sunday night across northwest Nebraska
with additional chances for snow mid to late week. However, confidence
remains low on seeing accumulating snowfall at this time.
