Red Flag Warning Saturday

🥶 Cold Weather Advisory Saturday Morning 🥶 A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect from midnight to 11 AM CST Saturday for parts of north central and western Nebraska. Wind chills in the -20s are expected, creating a risk for frostbite in as little as 30 minutes and hypothermia if precautions aren’t taken. Limit time outdoors, cover exposed skin, and bring pets indoors.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect 11 AM–5 PM MST Saturday for portions of western Nebraska. Despite cold temperatures with highs only in the 20s, very low humidity (10–20%) combined with northwest wind gusts of 20–30 mph will create critical fire weather conditions. Fires may start easily and spread rapidly. Avoid outdoor burning, secure ignition sources, and report any fires to local officials.
