.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 310 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

The main concern in the short term will be the patchy
dense fog early this morning. Light winds and low level moisture
have led to some localized fog development in the low-lying areas
and the river valleys across southwest Nebraska, with the
majority of the development across Lincoln County. Due to the
patchy nature of the dense fog, decided to go with an SPS this
morning across Lincoln County, instead of a Ufa. Expect winds
to pick up slightly by 10z and should be enough to start to see
patchy fog decrease this morning and not linger like yesterday`s
fog development. For today and upper level ridge situated over
the High Plains will keep mild temperatures as WAA with boost
highs in the low 70s with temperatures around 5 to 10 degrees
above normal.

For this evening, a weak disturbance will move into the area and
there will be a chance of isolated showers. Despite moisture
advection moving into the area, forcing will remain weak, thus
keeping PoP chances low in the evening through early Saturday.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 310 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

A weak cold front will move through the area late Sunday
and bring a brief cool down for Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be in
the upper 50s to low 60s. With the cold front moving in Sunday night
lows will become cool with temperatures in the low 30s across
the northwest Sandhills, will have to continue to monitor this
trend as Sunday night approaches as there may be a need for
frost/freeze headlines. There will be isolated chances for
showers Tuesday and Wednesday. An upper level ridge begins to
move in Wednesday and temperatures will start to warm back into
the 70s mid-week.
