.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 218 PM CDT Wed Sep 24 2025
Satellite shows a sharp, negatively-tilted trough over the
Central Plains this afternoon. A band of moisture is in place
from the Texas Panhandle through northern Illinois, just
clipping far southeast Nebraska. This could produce a few
sprinkles this afternoon until the moisture band shifts off to
the south and dry air takes its place. Otherwise, a fair-
weather cu field is developing across much of northeast Nebraska
and western Iowa. Temperatures are in the upper 70s as of 2 PM
and may touch the low 80s briefly by 5 PM.
Overnight tonight winds become calm, allowing for some patchy
fog to develop, especially along the Missouri and Platte Rivers
and in low-lying areas near bodies of water. Any fog should burn
off by 9 AM.
A broad upper-level ridging pattern is setting up across the
Central CONUS leading to a stretch of dry, mild weather. This
stretch is only extended by the replacement of the ridge by
another broad upper-level ridge over the weekend. The forecast
will be nearly identical starting tomorrow through the weekend
into early next week with mostly sunny skies and mild
temperatures. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s, and
overnight lows will be in the mid-50s to low 60s.

Issued at 1157 AM CDT Wed Sep 24 2025
VFR conditions with isolated to scattered cigs around FL050
this afternoon. Winds are out of the north around 5-10 kt. Winds
will become nearly calm overnight tonight with the potential for
patchy fog to develop, especially along and near bodies of water
such as rivers and lakes. This could potentially impact the
terminals with a 20% chance for LIFR conditions with fog at the
terminals from 10-14Z. Expect VFR conditions again on Thursday
with clear skies and winds becoming westerly Thursday morning.
