.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.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 612 PM CDT Wed Sep 24 2025
Light northeasterly winds with VFR ceilings and scattered
cumulus this evening give way to clear skies tonight. Winds are
expected to be very light and could be variable at times, but
can be expected to remain mainly northwesterly. Patchy fog may
develop near sunrise across portions of the area, mainly near
river valleys. Confidence is low on the coverage of any fog and
related aviation impacts with drier air beginning to move into
the area. Trends will continue to be monitored for increasing
confidence in fog development. Otherwise, light northwesterly
winds continue into the afternoon.
