Please stay aware!

PLEASE SHARE. Critical fire weather conditions continue across western and central Nebraska through the rest of today and into tomorrow. Low humidity, strong winds, and additional fire weather concerns expected Tuesday and Wednesday, including northerly wind gusts up to 45 mph, will create conditions where any fire that starts can spread rapidly.

Nebraska has already seen roughly 1 million acres burn this year. With grasses and other fuels remaining receptive to fire, now is the time to avoid outdoor burning, use extra caution with equipment that can create sparks, and continue checking any recent debris or pile burns for holdover heat.

One spark is all it takes.

Because its openness is overwhelming. Because there's nothing dominant to stop the eye, they say, "There's nothing out there. Nothing at least worth looking at, and certainly nothing worth paying attention to."

As Nebraskans, we've heard this many times and as Nebraskans, we smile politely and shake our collective heads.
