.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 303 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025

Today through tonight...

An upper level trough extends from the Great Lakes region
southwestward towards the Texas coast. Nebraska and Kansas are on
the backside of the upper trough. Winds across south central and
central Nebraska and north central Kansas are mostly out of the
south with temperatures mostly in the 30s. The upper trough will
move eastward today with a surface trough extending from western
Kansas and western Nebraska to north central Nebraska. Winds across
the area this afternoon will strengthen out of the southwest then
turn towards the west and north as the surface trough moves
southeast. Temperatures today will warm up into the low 60s to the
mid 70s. Winds will shift to the north tonight as a cold front moves
into the area. Low temperatures tonight will be in the low/mid 30s
to the low 40s.

Monday through Saturday...

Winds across the area will become east to southeast on Monday as a
surface high moves southeastward. High temperatures on Monday will
be in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Southerly winds will be across the
area Monday night with low temperatures in the mid 30s to mid 40s. A
surface trough will be across Nebraska and most of Kansas on
Tuesday. Winds across south central and central Nebraska and north
central Kansas will mostly be out of the west Tuesday afternoon.
Temperatures in response to this surface trough will warm up into
the upper 60s to mid 70s Tuesday afternoon. A cold front will begin
to move into the area Tuesday night with low temperatures in the mid
30s to mid 40s. High temperatures on Wednesday will be around 10
degrees cooler than the previous day. Low temperatures Wednesday
night will be in the mid 30s to low 40s with south to southeast
winds. A weak upper trough will begin to move over the region on
Thursday with high temperatures in the 60s. Low temperatures
Thursday night will be similar to the previous night. High
temperatures on Friday will be similar to those on Thursday as the
upper trough moves east of the region. Low temperatures Friday night
will be in the upper 30s to mid 40s. A cold front associated with a
broad upper trough will move into the area on Saturday. This front
will result in high temperatures on Saturday in the mid 50s to mid
60s.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025

For KGRI/KEAR Airports:

High confidence VFR conditions are expected through the period
with just some passing high clouds...mainly in the first 6
hours...and good VSBYS throughout. Could see some very marginal
LLWS during the early morning hours as a weak LLJ develops
across the area by around 02/09Z, but surface winds have
already become southerly and they will likely increase to near
10 KTS over the next few hours, limiting the potential for any
true LLWS. Winds should then increase a bit further during the
daytime hours Sunday as the pressure gradient tightens a bit
ahead of a cold front, with a few gusts to 20 KTS+ possible
during the afternoon hours. The front will bring a shift to
more northerly winds just beyond the current TAF period,
although they will likely remain much lighter Monday.
