...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 6 PM MST WEDNESDAY FOR LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS FOR FAR SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA...

...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY FOR SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON...

.Strong westerly and northwesterly winds approaching 45 mph with
afternoon humidity values falling to around 20 percent will
support critical fire weather conditions across far southwest
Nebraska Wednesday. Later in the day, a pronounced frontal
boundary will arrive from the north and lead to an abrupt wind
flip from westerly to more northerly. Wind gusts exceeding 25 mph
are likely to continue well into the evening hours following
frontal passage. There will also be a threat for isolated showers
this afternoon which will produce gusty erratic winds in their
vicinity. An isolated lightning strike cannot be ruled out either.

The National Weather Service in North Platte has issued a Red
Flag Warning for low relative humidity and gusty winds, which is
in effect from 11 AM to 6 PM MST Wednesday. The Fire Weather Watch
is no longer in effect.

* AFFECTED AREA...Fire Weather Zone 210 Frenchman Basin.

* TIMING...11 AM to 6 PM MST Wednesday

* WINDS...Northwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 20 to 25 percent.

* TEMPERATURES...Up to 70.

* LIGHTNING...Isolated, and cannot totally be ruled out.

* IMPACTS...Any fire starts will have a high potential to spread
rapidly and will be difficult to control.

Information: 
A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions
are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of
strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.
