.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 355 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

Clear skies and generally light winds have allowed temperatures
to fall into the lower to mid teens across the majority of the
forecast area early this morning - with a few single digit
readings detected in mesonet data across portions of Dawson
county. These are the coldest morning temps for most locations
since late February.

For this morning, expect temperatures to bottom out right
around sunrise, with a rebound into the 40s for most locations
this afternoon. This will be in response to light southerly
return flow ushering in modestly warmer air this afternoon as
the area of surface high pressure across the area this morning
shifts east.

Across the upper levels, high pressure to our west will shift
east across the area by Tuesday, allowing temperatures to
moderate further and return to above normal levels for the
remainder of the week. This will also shift the focus of the jet
stream well to our north and east, keeping conditions dry
through the end of the week.

Thereafter...models still have some significant differences
with the handling of the next more significant west coast
trough/low that will move into the plains over the weekend, with
quite a spread in ensemble member QPF depictions across the
local area. While the majority of the ensemble members continue
to indicate this Pacific storm system will be warm enough to
support rain, a handful of mainly EC ensemble members are
hinting at a chance for snow. At the moment, given the
uncertainties, the model blend used in the official forecast
is advertising fairly mild temperatures with a 15-35% chance
of rain over the weekend.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 529 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

For KGRI/KEAR Airports:

High confidence VFR conditions through the period with just some
passing high level clouds and good VSBYS.

For this morning...expect light westerly winds to persist
through the mid-morning hours...with winds increasing to near 12
KTS out of the south by 10/17Z. Winds will then remain steady
through the afternoon hours, increasing some this evening as a
modest LLJ develops across the region. Given the increase in
surface winds and the focus of the LLJ to the east of the
terminals, did not include the mention for LLWS tonight. CIGS
will not be an issue through the period...with only variable
amounts of high level cloud cover anticipated.
