...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY
TODAY...POTENTIALLY CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY...
A warm and dry airmass will coincide with gusty west and
southwest winds today. Sustained winds are expected to be 15 to
25 mph across much of the high country with gusts up to 40 mph,
strongest for exposed areas and higher elevations. These
conditions will drive very high fire danger across the warned
area. Any new starts or established fires will likely spread
rapidly under these conditions.
* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zones 211, 213, 217 and 218.
* TIMING...Until 9 PM MDT this evening.
* WINDS...Southwest 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 11 percent.
* IMPACTS...Conditions will be favorable for rapid fire spread.
Avoid outdoor burning and any activity that may produce a
spark and start a wildfire.

west becoming south along the US-20 corridor, and south for the
remaining areas of the High Plains further south.
* HUMIDITY...10 to 15 percent.
* IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly.
Outdoor burning is not recommended.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... While humidity will improve this evening,
gusty and erratic winds along with a few strikes of lightning
are possible with scattered shower activity through the evening
hours. Outside of the central and southern Nebraska panhandle,
this activity is unlikely to come with much, if any, rainfall.
