This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest
Iowa...west central Iowa...east central Nebraska...northeast
Nebraska and southeast Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Extreme fire danger is forecast this afternoon into early evening
for northeast Nebraska for the combination of very warm
temperatures, low relative humidity, and windy conditions. A red
flag warning will be in effect for areas near and west of Highway
81.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

An intense weather system will move through the area Friday
into Saturday. South winds with gusts of 30 to 40 mph on Friday
will switch to northwest at 45 to 55 mph late Friday night into
Saturday. Travel may be difficult for light weight and high
profile vehicles.

There is a 10 to 30% chance for severe storms Friday afternoon
into evening, mainly in far eastern Nebraska and western Iowa. The
main threats are damaging winds and hail.

Accumulating snowfall up to a couple of inches appears most
probable in northeast Nebraska late Friday night into Saturday.
Regardless of snowfall amounts, any snow combined with the strong
winds will lead to very poor visibility with blowing snow and
potential travel impacts.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
