Fire weather watch on Tuesday
METEOROLOGIST LUKE VICKERY. WITH THE ACCURATE FORECAST, YOU CAN TRUST. WE’VE HAD A LOT OF WARM DAYS IN THE FORECAST RECENTLY. OBVIOUSLY, TODAY IS NO DIFFERENT. TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE EVEN WARMER. YOU COULD EVEN ALMOST USE THE ADJECTIVE HOT FOR TOMORROW. WE THINK MID 70S AND BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO BE WINDY WITH THAT AS WELL, THE GROUND IS DRY, THE AIR IS GOING TO BE PRETTY DRY, ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE’S A FIRE WEATHER. WATCH OUT FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NOON TO 8 P.M., AND THE FAR WESTERN FRINGE OF OUR VIEWING AREA FROM MADISON COUNTY, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO YORK COUNTY. A RED FLAG WARNING, SO WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR SOME FIRE DANGER CONCERNS CERTAINLY THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. SO MAKE SURE YOU PRACTICE CAUTION. YOU’RE NOT BURNING. I THINK DOUGLAS COUNTY IS CURRENTLY UNDER A BURN BAN AS WELL. AND JUST LOOK AT BENSON GOLF COURSE, HOW DRY THE GROUND LOOKS RIGHT NOW. WE JUST HAVEN’T GOT A LOT OF MOISTURE SINCE EARLY JANUARY. I BELIEVE 62 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. A SOUTHWEST WIND AT TEN MILES PER HOUR. IT LOOKS LIKE WE COULD BE ON OUR WAY TO RECORD DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS MONDAY. WE’RE AT 62. THE RECORD HIGH IS 67, SET BACK IN 2017. 61, IN LINCOLN BEATRICE AT 60 DEGREES, 61 DEGREES IN ATLANTIC AND CARROLL. WE DO STILL HAVE A BIT OF A BREEZE AROUND, BUT I THINK LATER THIS AFTERNOON THAT WILL CALM A LITTLE MORE AND IT WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT YESTERDAY FELT LIKE WHEN WE HAD LIGHT WINDS, A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S OUTSIDE. SO ANOTHER TREAT FOR US HERE FOR YOUR MONDAY AFTERNOON, YOUR PRESIDENTS DAY. NOTHING ON LIVE SUPER DOPPLER RADAR. A COUPLE HIGH THIN CLOUDS ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. THOSE AREN’T GOING TO REALLY IMPACT OUR DAY MUCH. I THINK WE GET A GREAT DOSE OF VITAMIN D THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. SO THERE’S YOUR MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAYBE A COUPLE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS COME IN FROM THE SOUTH. WE’LL WATCH CLOUDS INCREASE MORE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO YOUR TUESDAY. THE WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN A LITTLE MORE. SO AGAIN IT’S GOING TO BE A WINDY DAY. WE’LL GET SUNSHINE FOR THE AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY, BUT MAYBE NOT SO MUCH FOR THE MORNING. AGAIN, SOME FIRE DANGER CONCERNS WITH HOW WINDY AND DRY IT’S GOING TO BE. THERE’S ACTUALLY THOUGH, WHEN THIS FRONT COMES THROUGH, THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY AFTER SUNSET, A CHANCE WE COULD GET A LITTLE THUNDERSHOWER. IT’S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION YET HERE. CLAP OF THUNDER LATE TOMORROW. I DON’T THINK THAT’S LIKELY FOR EVERYONE, BUT THERE’S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INSTABILITY ALOFT AND AS THAT FRONT COMES THROUGH, IT MAY LIFT A SHOWER UP, BUT THE AIR IS SO DRY, I THINK A LOT OF THAT MIGHT EVAPORATE BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND. BUT FOR THIS AFTERNOON, IT’S 60S INTO THE 50S AFTER SUNSET. 68 DEGREES IS WHAT WE’RE FORECASTING FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE, WHICH WOULD BE A RECORD. AND THEN THE LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT LOOK LIKE THE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR 45 DEGREES. THE LOW YOUR TUESDAY AFTERNOON GETTING EVEN WARMER AT 76 DEGREES AND SOME UPPER 70S FURTHER WEST AND EASTERN NEBRASKA. AGAIN, WE’LL STILL WATCH FOR A SHOWER OR MAYBE A CLAP OF THUNDER THERE LATE TUESDAY EVENING. SO IT LOOKS LIKE TWO BACK TO BACK DAYS HERE TODAY. TUESDAY CHALLENGING RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES. WEDNESDAY WE’RE DOWN TO 64 AFTER THAT COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH SO IT DOESN’T KNOCK US DOWN A TON. IT’S NOT A SUPER STRONG FRONT 47 THOUGH. ON THURSDAY. THAT’S ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT COULD COME THROUGH GIVING US POTENTIALLY SOME RAIN OR SNOW LATE ON THURSDAY. AND THEN TEMPERATURES GO BACK TO, LET’S SAY, SEASONABLE NORMS BY NEXT WEEKEND. SO
