This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southwest Iowa, west central
Iowa, east central Nebraska, northeast Nebraska and southeast
Nebraska.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Warm, dry, and breezy conditions will lead to very high to extreme
fire danger on Thursday, especially across northeast Nebraska into
west-central Iowa. A Red Flag Warning is in effect through 8 PM.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

Severe storm chances return by Friday afternoon, though trends are
toward the main threat remaining to our south and east. However, any
storms that do develop in the area will be capable of all severe
weather hazards.

Freezing temperatures are expected across much of the area Saturday
and Sunday mornings. This could damage sensitive vegetation.
