National Weather Service Hastings NE
130 PM CST Tue Dec 14 2021

the associated cold front could make controlling any fire that
develops difficult.

few more hours, strongest in Nebraska counties, relative humidity
values have recovered well into the 45 to 70 percent range. As a 
result, the official Red Flag Warning is being cancelled at this 
time. 

However, please continue to exercise caution around any ongoing
wildfires in and near Rooks and Osborne counties in Kansas.
