Issued at 227 AM CST Fri Nov 7 2025 Mid to high level troughing is situated across the northern plains this morning. An accompanied surface low will track across the Great Lakes region today dragging a cold front through the region. While southwest flow will bring dewpoints into the upper 50s to near 60, CAPE values still appear to be limited with better potential energy further east. Recent trends in CAMs continue to suggest the better chances for thunderstorms and precipitation in general to our east mainly in LMK and OHX area. The forecast reflects this with PoPs mainly focused in western Kentucky for late this morning into the afternoon. Dry weather occurs behind the front Friday night into Saturday ahead of another disturbance aloft. This disturbance will bring a weak sfc low and front through the area Saturday night into early Sunday with light precipitation possible. A 1040+ mb high moves in from the northwest Sunday into next week. Strong northwest winds behind the front will usher in much colder temperatures with highs on Sunday only reaching the 40s, and even a bit colder on Monday with highs in the low to mid 40s. A few locations may not get out of the 30s. Lows Sunday night and Monday night drop into the 20s and wind chills in the teens Monday and Tuesday morning. Strong CAA associated with the deep low developing may offer a few snow showers or flurries across mainly northeast and eastern portions of the area Sunday into Sunday night. Behind the departing upper low, height rises and a return to southwest flow will bring a warming trend back to the area. Highs return to the 50s on Tuesday and 60s by Wednesday and Thursday. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
