...RED FLAG WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO MIDNIGHT
CDT TONIGHT FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR SOUTH CENTRAL
NEBRASKA AND NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS...

* WINDS...From the south, sustained 15 to 25 MPH, and gusting as
  high as 30 to 35 MPH.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...As low as 10 to 16 percent during the
  afternoon in most places.

* IMPACTS...Any fire that develops will spread quickly. Outdoor
  burning is not recommended.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Although relative humidity will steadily
  increase during the evening especially within counties along and
  east of Highway 281, this rise will be slower farther west,
  with some counties likely not seeing relative humidity improve
  above 25 percent until at least 10 PM.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
