This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and

portions of north central Kansas.



.DAY ONE...Tonight.



The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low. 



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.



From late Saturday morning through late Saturday night-early 

Sunday morning, widespread, critical fire weather conditions are 

likely across our entire forecast area due to a combination of 

record-breaking heat and gusty winds. As a result, a Red Flag 

Warning is in effect area-wide from 11 AM Saturday through 4 AM 

Sunday. Please refer to the Warning statement for additional 

details. 



Between midnight Saturday night and sunrise Sunday, a strong cold

front will surge through our entire forecast area from north-to- 

south. As it passes, most places will likely observe at least a 

few hours of winds gusting at least 45 to 50 MPH.



Each afternoon between Sunday and Thursday, at least near- 

critical fire weather conditions appear likely across various 

portions of our forecast area...wherever there is an overlap of 

winds gusting at least 20 MPH, and relative humidity falling to 25

percent or lower. Outright-critical conditions appear less 

widespread, but currently appear possible on Monday primarily 

within a few of our far western counties, and also on Thursday 

across more of our area.
