342 PM CST Wed Jan 14 2026 /242 PM MST Wed Jan 14 2026/
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western and north
central Nebraska.
.DAY ONE...Tonight.
Hazardous weather is not expected.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions return Thursday
due to a combination of above normal temperatures, low relative
humidity, and gusty winds. The area of greater concern will be across
southwestern Nebraska.
Strong northwest winds will develop across the region on Friday
resulting in gusts up to 65 mph across portions of the region. A
High Wind Watch remains in effect for the entire forecast area from
late Thursday night through Friday afternoon. Snow showers are also
possible across portions of north central Nebraska Friday into Friday
night. The strong winds combined with any snow showers would lead to
rapid and significant reductions in visibility to travelers.
While temperatures will turn colder on Friday, low relative humidity
values from 20 to 30 percent combined with gusty winds up to 65 mph
or higher will result in elevated to near critical fire conditions,
mainly across southwestern Nebraska.

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
