A FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL DAY, WEATHER-WISE, WITH A SHORTWAVE MID TO UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE AREA AND A MID TO UPPER LEVEL LOW SLOWLY
ENTERING MANITOBA. AT THE SURFACE, WEAK HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER
THE AREA WITH A SURFACE LOW OVER PA. TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE EXPECTED
TO REACH THE MID TO UPPER 50S. AS WE TRANSITION INTO THE NIGHT, A
WEAK COLD FRONT CURRENTLY DRAPED ACROSS THE EASTERN
DAKOTAS/WESTERN MN, WILL BEGIN TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. CLEAR
SKIES COUPLED WITH WEAK NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO SINK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S RESULTING IN A
FROST POTENTIAL FOR TOMORROW MORNING. HOWEVER, THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY AS THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER MANITOBA
SPLITS INTO TWO SEPARATE SYSTEMS AND TRACKS TO THE SOUTHEAST. A
FEW UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIAL SYSTEM COULD
HINDER TEMPERATURES JUST ENOUGH TO STAVE OFF THE FROST POTENTIAL
IN SOME AREAS. HOWEVER, THE HREF STILL GIVES MOST OF OUR AREA A
60-80% CHANCE FOR TEMPERATURES TO GET BELOW 36 DEGREES F
(MOSTLY IMPLYING FROST).
FOR THE WEEKEND, THE SECONDARY MID TO UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE
AREA. GIVEN THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM,
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY. AT THE SURFACE, HIGH PRESSURE
DESCENDS FROM THE NORTHWEST ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE PREVIOUSLY-
MENTIONED COLD FRONT KEEPING WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH/NORTHWEST. AS A
RESULT, EXPECT THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE WEEK SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY MORNING. SATURDAY MORNING LOWS MAY RANGE IN THE 30S WITH
AREAS NORTH OF I-70 AT OR BELOW FREEZING. FOR SUNDAY, AT OR BELOW
FREEZING TEMPERATURES BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD TO AREAS SOUTH OF I-70
AS WELL. EARLY NEXT WEEK, MID TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MOVES OVER THE
AREA. HIGHER HEIGHTS SUGGEST A WARMING TREND WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN
THE 60S FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 1240 PM CDT THU OCT 30 2025
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE IMPROVING TO VFR AS WE CONTINUE DEEPER INTO
THE AFTERNOON. INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON
AROUND 5-10KFT FOR THE MORE NORTHERN TERMINALS. WINDS REMAIN BELOW
12 KTS OUT OF THE WEST/NORTHWEST FOR REMAINDER OF THE TAF
PERIOD.
