641 FXUS63 KOAX 110505 AFDOAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Omaha/Valley NE 1105 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Becoming much warmer this week with highs reaching the 60s to low 70s by Friday - Dry through the work week followed by a 20-40% of precipitation this weekend, though confidence is rather low in the details. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 337 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 Quiet and cool across the region today as a surface trough was pushing through on the western periphery of an upper level trough/cutoff low over the eastern CONUS. Temperatures as of 3 PM were in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Southwesterly winds will pick up tonight on the back side of departing high pressure and ahead of incoming shortwave energy and a surface front over the Pacific Northwest. The warm air advection will lead to some increased cloudiness to start the day, but most of those clouds should quickly exit to our southeast and give way to decent sunshine in the afternoon. Winds will become northwesterly behind the front, but temperatures on Tuesday will be much warmer with downsloping helping to warm us into the upper 50s and 60s. We`ll stay warm through the end of the week and possibly into Saturday as a mid level ridge gradually shifts eastward and southerly low level flow sets up between eastward departing high pressure and developing low pressure east of the Rockies. Expect highs mostly in the 60s and possibly a few 70s by Friday, with lows mainly in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Guidance then starts to diverge quite a bit heading into the weekend. The general idea is that a cutoff low pushes into the Desert Southwest Friday and across the Southern Plains through Sunday. Meanwhile, another shortwave trough and area of surface low pressure develop over the Dakotas/southern Canada and help to drag a cold front through the area Saturday. Guidance indicates there will be precipitation development along the cold front at some point, but whether that`s over us or to our east remains the big question as there`s still lots of spread in various ensemble members regarding timing, track, and interaction of the various features. Overall consensus gives us a 20-40% chance of precip Saturday afternoon, through Sunday, with perhaps some lingering into Monday. If we do get anything, it currently looks like it should be mostly rain, but plenty of guidance suggests we stay completely dry, too, so overall confidence is on the lower side regarding precip. There`s more confidence in temperatures heading into next week, as we will cool down behind the front, but it`s looking fairly seasonable, with highs back in the upper 40s to mid 50s. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1105 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period with considerable high-level cloudiness (FL200-250) decreasing by late Tuesday morning. South to southwest winds at 12 kt overnight will switch to northwest in the 15-17z timeframe with speeds of 10-13 kt. LLWS will continue at the terminal sites through 13z. && .OAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NE...None. IA...None. && $$ DISCUSSION...CA AVIATION...Mead
