.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 216 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025

An upper level ridge will pass over the Central and Southern Plains
over the next few days with an upper level shortwave digging into
the Northern Plains Friday into Saturday. No active weather is
expected today through this weekend with a cold front pushing through
the area Saturday. Winds will generally be light and swinging from a
southerly to easterly direction through Friday, then shift to the
north behind the aforementioned cold front Saturday. As for
temperatures, highs look to reach into the low 70s today, upper 70s
to around 80 degrees tomorrow, and then mid 70s Saturday. Lows will
dip into the upper 30s to low 40s tonight then 40s tomorrow night.

The pattern then changes as an upper level low slides into the
Desert Southwest Sunday and towards the Central Plains Monday. As of
now most ensemble members keep western Kansas dry as this system
moves through with a cold front and increase in cloud cover. Future
model runs will be watched to see if anything changes with this
system. As for temperatures, highs Sunday and Monday look to reach
into the 60s with 50s Tuesday and Wednesday. Lows will generally be
in the 40s Sunday and Monday morning with freezing temperatures
returning Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
