Alertes en vigueurPhillips

Mainly between 1 and 5 PM, most south central/central Nebraska and north central Kansas counties west of Highway 281 will likely experience solidly near-critical fire weather conditions, due to the combination of westerly winds gusting 20-30 MPH, and relative humidity dropping to at least 20-25 percent. Briefly-critical conditions cannot be ruled out, especially within our far western counties such as Dawson, Gosper and Furnas in Nebraskaand Rooks and Phillips in Kansas. Due to the expectation that any outright-critical fire weather thresholds are currently expected to be reached on a fairly localized and brief basis, a formal fire weather Warning is not anticipated at this time. However, caution is certainly advised this afternoon if engaging in any activities that could potentially spark a wildfire.
