.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 403 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025

...Synopsis...

Colder than average temperatures continue through the forecast
period as north to northwest H5 flow prevails. Scattered low to mid
level cloud cover today is expected to persist into the overnight
and into Monday, with flurries possible wherever clouds exist. Low
temperatures tonight will ultimately depend upon where the clearest
skies persist, with lows generally expected to fall either side of
zero degrees. Another shortwave approaches the area Tuesday into
Wednesday, with light snow possible, along with a surge of
reinforcing Arctic air. The 850 mb temps could be as low as 20 below
zero for portions of the area, with surface temps in the teens below
zero, especially where snow cover is heaviest.

Heading into the end of next week, another shortwave will be
followed by additional chances for snow on Friday and into the
weekend. Overall, the medium range pattern supports additional cold
air and occasional snow chances over the next couple of weeks.
