.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 428 AM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025
The forecast period starts out with the remnants of a boundary
extending from Axtell to Fairbury. A few showers and maybe an
isolated storm may develop along the boundary this morning into the
afternoon. The rain chances (15-30%) will be limited to south of I-
80, with the highest chances along and south of the boundary.
Elsewhere, radiational cooling, light southerly winds, and warm air
advection over a cool and moist surface has been conducive for fog
development this morning, particularly for southeastern Nebraska and
southwestern Iowa. A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for several
counties across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa through 9AM.
Expect visibility reductions to one quarter mile or less within the
advisory area.
Split flow remains over the western CONUS with a ridge over Montana
and an upper trough coming ashore over southern California. A closed
upper low over eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota will
slide east today with the Central Plains under northwest flow. Late
this afternoon into early evening, chances for showers and storms
decrease in southeastern Nebraska/southwestern Iowa and increase (15-
20%) in northeastern Nebraska/northwestern Iowa. A few strong to
marginally severe storms will be possible with hail and gusty winds
being the main concerns.
Monday, the upper trough moves off to the east over Lake Superior.
An upper trough over the Rockies will deepen, with a closed upper
low developing to the west of the Bighorns. Isolated chances (15-
20%) will be possible in the northwestern Iowa and northeastern
Nebraska during the morning with exit of an upper wave. Increased
coverage and chances (30-50%) for showers and storms are expected
Monday evening as the closed low slides southeast. A few strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible Monday afternoon and night.
Storm chances (40-70%) will continue during the day Tuesday,
decreasing to 20-40% in the evening. Precipitation chances will
end by Wednesday afternoon.
Monday highs will be in the upper 70s to mid-80s. Lows will be in
the upper 50s to mid-60s. Cooler air filters into the region Tuesday
and Wednesday, with highs returning to the low to mid-70s. Lows will
be in the 50s and 60s.
Northerly flow sets up over the region on Thursday, ahead of a ridge
progressing east into the region by Friday. The majority of the
region should be dry, with the one exception being extreme
southeastern Nebraska Thursday morning as lingering showers exit the
region. Friday into the weekend, highs will be back in the mid-70s
to low 80s with lows in the 50s.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1214 PM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025
Morning fog has finally dissipated, with prevailing VFR
conditions expected through this evening into tonight. Ongoing
shower activity over parts of south-central NE could approach
KLNK this afternoon, so we will be monitoring that. South winds
will increase to 11-12 kt this afternoon, before diminishing by
22/00z. Otherwise, areas of fog are expected to develop toward
daybreak Monday, with KOMA being the most likely location to
be affected.
