.DISCUSSION... Issued at 240 AM CDT Wed Sep 24 2025
The forecast period begins with a ridge over the western CONUS, a closed low over southern California, and an upper trough over central Kansas. This morning, the trough will push to the east. A few light showers associated with it may still be possible through the morning hours, particularly for areas along and south of I-80. A few sprinkles may be possible in the afternoon. Temperatures will be very pleasant, topping out in the mid to upper 70s for most areas. A few localized 80s will be possible along the Nebraska-South Dakota border.
Quieter weather is in the forecast heading into the latter part of the week. The ridge shifts east over the Central Plains Thursday, settling in through the start of next week. Dry conditions are expected through the end of the forecast. Expect highs to be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Lows will be in the 50s and 60s.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY/... Issued at 1149 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
VFR conditions will prevail throughout the TAF cycle. Mid to high-level clouds will keep pushing southeast early in the period. Fog potential has shifted farther southeast away from terminals for early this morning. Will see diurnally driven cumulus develop at around 4 to 5kft after 17z then dissipating after 23z. Terminals may see a few pop up showers in the afternoon as well, but confidence in this occurring is low at about a 10 to 15% chance.
Winds will remain light under 12kts and generally from the north northeast.
