Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
149 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025

.DISCUSSION...


Increasing fire concerns are expected towards the end of the week
as RH values fall back to near 20 percent, warmer temperatures
return, and slightly stronger wind gusts near 25 mph combine
across northern Nebraska and areas west of US-83. At this time,
elevated conditions are expected, but this may change as the
forecast changes in the coming days.
