(KLZA)-- The National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley has issued a Red
Flag Warning for all of eastern Nebraska due to wind and low relative humidity.

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.
The warning is in effect until 8 p.m. this evening.

Northwest winds at 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph are possible with humidity readings as low as 18 percent.

Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
