.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 229 AM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016

An upper level trough will continue to lift north and east of the
Central Plains today. This will allow a cold front and surface high
pressure to build into Kansas. The cold front will switch winds from
light and variable to north and northwest at 15 to 30 mph. Areas of
dense fog have formed ahead of the front, with a dense fog advisory
issued. The wind shift will bring in a drier airmass and will clear
the fog away later this morning. Some scattered thunderstorms will
be mainly in the Medicine Lodge area through 6 am then pushing east.
Highs look to be in the low to mid 70s with clearing skies and north
winds decreasing by mid to late afternoon.

Tonight, then center of cold high pressure will settle into far
western Kansas with clear skies and very light winds. There could be
some upper 30s near Garden City and west and north with low to mid
40s elsewhere. There even could be some patchy frost in low lying
areas.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 229 AM CDT Sun Sep 25 2016

will build into the Plains with mostly clear skies and a warming
trend. Highs will warm from the 70s on Monday, then back to around
80 to 85 degrees.

From Friday into Saturday, a lead shortwave trough is forecast to
push across the Central Plains with scattered thunderstorms and
highs around 80.
