Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western
and North Central for Nebraska
National Weather Service North Platte NE
403 AM CDT Fri Sep 8 2023

.DISCUSSION...

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected today mainly across
southwest Nebraska in fire zones 204 and 210. By this afternoon 
temperatures will be hot with readings in the upper 80s to lower 
90s and relative humidity values will drop to near 20 percent. 
While winds will be on the light side, gusts of 15 to 20mph are 
possible this afternoon. 

Fire weather concerns start to east tomorrow as humidity increases 
as a cold front moves down from the north with a chance for strong 
thunderstorms, though winds will gust near 25mph with humidity down 
to around 25 percent across extreme southwest Nebraska in fire zone 
210. 

Fire weather concerns then diminish considerably as widespread wetting 
rainfall is expected as the front moves through, followed by much cooler 
temperatures and humidity at or above 50 percent through the middle of 
next week. There will also be a chance for showers or thunderstorms each
day through Wednesday.
