Through around 6 PM, near-critical fire weather conditions will be possible across parts of the area, due to the combination of both north-northeast winds gusting at least 20 MPH, and also relative humidity falling as low as 18 to 25 percent. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. - Possible wintry mix on Sunday: Mainly during the afternoon hours on Sunday, a light wintry mix of snow and/or possibly sleet could affect primarily the southeastern quadrant of our forecast area...meaning those counties mainly located both along and east of Highway 281, and also along and south of Interstate 80. Please note that forecast confidence is still relatively low, with possibilities ranging from no wintry precipitation at all, to perhaps a half inch or so of sleet/snow...making for potentially slippery road conditions. - Possible Light freezing drizzle Monday morning: On Monday morning, a period light freezing drizzle cannot be ruled out, primarily within north central Kansas, and east of a line from Franklin, to Grand Island, to Fullerton Nebraska. By noon, it should be warm enough to turn any possible freezing drizzle to plain, non-freezing drizzle. Please note that this is currently an uncertain scenario, with the possibilities ranging from no freezing drizzle at all, to perhaps enough freezing drizzle to cause slick roads. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ NEZ039>041-046>049-060>064-072>077-083>087-012000- Valley-Greeley-Nance-Sherman-Howard-Merrick-Polk-Dawson-Buffalo- Hall-Hamilton-York-Gosper-Phelps-Kearney-Adams-Clay-Fillmore- Harlan-Franklin-Webster-Nuckolls-Thayer- 158 PM CST Sat Feb 28 2026 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for nearly all of south central Nebraska, except Furnas County. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.
