DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 306 AM CDT MON SEP 1 2025
CURRENTLY HAVE A WELL DEFINED UPPER IMPULSE DROPPING SOUTH
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA WITH ANOTHER UPPER WAVE LIFTING
ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD. AT THE SURFACE, HIGH PRESSURE
CONTINUES TO STRETCH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND INTO THE
UPPER/MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
LOW LEVELS REMAIN VERY SATURATED AND WITH SOME LIGHT UPSLOPE
FLOW VERY LOW CEILINGS AND FOG ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP. CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT AREAS WEST OF I-135 WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE
TO SEE AREAS OF FOG THROUGH AROUND 15Z.
UPPER IMPULSE OVER NEBRASKA WILL CONTINUE TO SINK SOUTH TODAY
AND BY THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE MOVING INTO NORTH-CENTRAL KS. THIS
WILL KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS AROUND. BY EARLY
THIS EVENING, UPPER ENERGY WILL BE TRACKING ACROSS SOUTHEAST KS
AND INTO EASTERN OK/AR BY 12Z TUE. SO CURRENTLY EXPECTING PRECIP
TO GRADUALLY MOVE OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AS THE WAVE
ALSO SINKS SOUTH. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS,
NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIP IN THE FORECAST FOR TUE, AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION.
BY WED AFTERNOON, CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH IN A DEEP UPPER LOW
TRACKING OUT OF MANITOBA/WESTERN ONTARIO AND MOVING INTO THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES/UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS WILL ALLOW A
COLD FRONT TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS, MOVING THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA LATE WED AFTERNOON INTO WED EVENING. A FEW STORMS
WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS IT MOVES SOUTH, WITH
WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS NOT ANTICIPATED. THERE IS GOOD MODEL
AGREEMENT THAT ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY WILL DIVE DOWN THE
BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH ON THU AND WILL ALLOW HIGHS IN THE
70S TO REMAIN FOR THU INTO THE WEEKEND. NORMAL HIGHS FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR ARE IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 1232 PM CDT MON SEP 1 2025
MVFR CIGS WILL REMAIN STUBBORN FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH ONLY
A PERIOD OF VFR POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW SHOWERS AND
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING BUT COVERAGE
ONLY ALLOWS FOR A PROB30 MENTION AT THIS TIME. SHORT TERM TRENDS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR ANY PREVAILING TSRA PERIODS
NEEDED. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT WINDS FROM THE
NORTH/NORTHWEST AT 5-10 KT OVERNIGHT.
