.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 302 AM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
Some patchy fog may develop this morning, causing some reductions to
visibility through mid-morning. The best chances for fog development
will be along the Platte and Missouri rivers and other low-lying
areas. Any fog should burn off by mid-morning. Patchy smoke
moving in from the north may cause some hazy skies through the
day.
An upper ridge over the Rockies will shift east over the Central
Plains today and Friday. Dry conditions with highs ranging from the
upper 70s to mid-80s are expected today and tomorrow. Another upper
ridge moves in over the weekend, settling in through early next
week. Highs will be in the upper 70s to mid-80s and lows will be in
the 50s and 60s.
A shift in the pattern on Tuesday will bring southwest flow over the
region and a shortwave trough into the Central High Plains. Dry
conditions are expected to persist for now through the end of the
forecast period.

Issued at 1237 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2025
VFR conditions favored through the period with some passing
clouds around 4000-6000 ft this afternoon. Winds will remain
light and westerly to northwesterly this afternoon before
becoming more southerly to southwesterly this evening. Some
signs we could see fog development into Friday morning (10-20%
chance), especially in river valley areas (including OMA), but
winds aloft currently look strong enough to keep it pretty
patchy.
