CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING WITH WINDS NEARLY CALM.
TEMPERATURES HAVE DROPPED INTO THE LOW 40S FOR THE MOST PART
ACROSS THE AREA, APART FROM MORE URBAN SITES WHICH ARE IN THE
MID 40S TO AROUND 50.
THE UPPER-LEVEL PATTERN SHOWS THE CONTINUED BREAKDOWN OF THE REX
BLOCK DISCUSSED YESTERDAY MORNING, WITH THE RIDGE PUSHING
EASTWARD OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. TODAY WE WILL ALSO SEE
ANOTHER RIDGE START TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES, WHICH
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A WARMING TREND THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
TODAY, WE'LL SEE HIGHS WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S AGAIN
WITH NOMINAL SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT WE'LL SEE A WEAK SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE BRING IN A MASS
OF CLOUD COVER HELPING TO KEEP TEMPERATURES A BIT WARMER
OVERNIGHT. CAMS SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR A FEW SPRINKLES IN
NORTHEAST NEBRASKA, BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW ANYTHING WOULD HAVE
TO OVERCOME A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DRY AIR NEAR THE SURFACE.
GOING INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE RIDGE
OVER THE ROCKIES WILL BRING TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE MID-TO-
UPPER 70S ON THURSDAY AND UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 ON FRIDAY. ON
SATURDAY, A CLIPPER FRONT MOVING OUT OF CENTRAL CANADA INTO THE
GREAT LAKES REGION WILL BRING A FRONT THROUGH WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS SATURDAY MORNING. CLOUD COVER SHOULD
HELP TO KEEP TEMPERATURES A BIT MILDER SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID-70S.
DETAILS GET MURKIER AS WE GO INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS MODELS
DIVERGE ON HOW THIS RIDGE WILL BREAK DOWN, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE
WE WILL BE MORPHING INTO A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN NEXT WEEK WITH
HIGHS CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 559 AM CDT WED OCT 8 2025
WE HAVE FOG THAT HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE PLATTE AND MISSOURI
RIVERS THIS MORNING, STARTING TO CREEP INTO KOMA. WILL LIKELY
SEE FOG IMPACT THE TERMINAL UNTIL AROUND 14Z WHEN IT BURNS OFF
LEAVING BEHIND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING.
OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF
PERIOD AT THE TERMINALS WITH WINDS PREDOMINANTLY OUT OF THE
SOUTH. HIGH CLOUDS START TO MOVE THIS EVENING AROUND
FL070-FL100 AND STICK AROUND OVERNIGHT.
