.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain fairly limited this week across
western and north central Nebraska. Temperatures return to above
average tomorrow through the end of the week, with highs in the
60s to lower 70s. The warmest temperatures are expected on
Thursday and Friday, with highs breaking into the lower to mid 70s
across portions of western Nebraska and the Sandhills. With the
warmer temperatures, afternoon humidity values drop down to the 20
to 25 percent range. However, the stronger wind gusts, peaking
around 25 mph, are expected to remain well east of the lowest
humidity values, mainly east of Highway 83. By Friday evening, a
system tracks into the region. This system will be the next
chances for precipitation, however, confidence in precipitation
is low at this time. The system also brings cooler temperatures,
returning us to near seasonal temperatures this weekend into early
next week.
