– Areas of dense fog still possible this morning, mainly over portions of south central Nebraska. – Increasing westerly winds behind a departing storm system will usher in drier air into W/SW portions of the area this afternoon, resulting in near critical to critical fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for these areas for the afternoon into early evening hours.

– Best chances for measurable precip with today`s system will be mainly across northeastern portions of the local area. Little accumulation is expected.

– After a breezy and seasonably cool start to the weekend, temperatures will climb back above seasonal norms Sunday afternoon, which along with lighter winds, should make for a nice Easter Sunday across the local area.

– Precip chances return as early as Monday afternoon to parts of the local area with more widespread (and potentially beneficial) precipitation chances coming Wednesday/Thursday of next week.
