ISSUED AT 156 PM CDT WED SEP 9 2026
AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF HEAT, RELIEF HAS ARRIVED. A COLD FRONT HAS
MOVED ACROSS THE REGION WITH SOME NOTICEABLY COOLER AIR BEHIND IT.
HIGHS TODAY WILL TOP OUT IN THE 70S AND 80S, MAKING IT A FAIRLY
PLEASANT DAY. A FEW MODELS STILL LEAVE LOW END POPS ALONG THE
KS/NE BORDER THIS AFTERNOON, BUT MOST AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY
DRY. STILL A FEW CLOUDS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN
NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWESTERN IOWA THIS AFTERNOON, WITH ADDITIONAL
CLOUDS MOVING INTO NORTHERN NEBRASKA EXPECTED TONIGHT. LIGHT
NORTH WINDS, CLEARING SKIES, RADIATIONAL COOLING, AND RECENT
RAINFALL MAY AID IN SOME PATCHY FOG DEVELOPMENT EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING, PARTICULARLY FOR AREAS ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER. THERE
IS A LITTLE LESS CERTAINTY IN FOG POTENTIAL IN EXTREME
SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA/SOUTHWESTERN IOWA, WHERE CLOUD COVER IS
EXPECTED TO HANG ON A LITTLE LATER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
THURSDAY, AND PARTICULARLY FRIDAY, BRING A WARM UP AS A MID-LEVEL
RIDGE SETS UP OVER THE BIG HORNS (WY) AND GRADUALLY MAKES ITS WAY
ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND NEBRASKA. EXPECT LOW 80S FOR THURSDAY HIGHS
AND LOW TO MID-80S ON FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE REGION
ON FRIDAY, BRINGING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
INSTABILITY AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL BE FACTORS AS THE FRONT AND A
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH ARRIVE. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE CONCERN FOR SOME FLOODING.
COOLER WEATHER IS EXPECTED HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND, PARTICULARLY
FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA, WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S. LOWS WILL
BE IN THE 50S AND 60S EACH MORNING. PERIODIC SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE
WEEKEND.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
ISSUED AT 610 PM CDT WED SEP 9 2026
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL FOR THE DURATION OF THE
TAF CYCLE. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A FEW SCATTERED CLOUDS AROUND
4,000 TO 5,000 FT LINGERING THIS EVENING ACROSS KOMA AND KLNK,
BUT EXPECT THESE TO DISSIPATE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LIGHT
NORTH NORTHEAST WINDS BECOME VARIABLE THROUGH MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS, EVENTUALLY TURNING CLOCKWISE TO THE EAST
SOUTHEAST BY MID MORNING. FOG POTENTIAL FOR TONIGHT REMAINS LOW,
WITH GUIDANCE SHOWING A 5 TO 10% CHANCE AT SEEING VISIBILITIES
OF MVFR OR LOWER, SO HAVE KEPT MENTIONS OUT WITH THIS ISSUANCE.
