This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western and north 

central Nebraska.



.DAY ONE...Tonight.



Hazardous weather in not expected at this time.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.



A Red Flag Warning are in effect on Thursday for the eastern 

Panhandle into the western Sandhills. Above normal temperatures, low 

humidity, and gusty west winds may result in erratic behavior and 

rapid spread of any fires.



Concerns for near-critical to critical fire weather conditions

increase Saturday as highs climb into the mid 80s to low 90s, 

westerly winds strengthen, and dry conditions persist. Later in the 

day, a frontal boundary will arrive from the north and lead to an 

abrupt wind shift along with the threat for strong winds. Confidence 

in precise timing and strength of expected post-frontal winds is low.



.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...



Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
