.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 218 AM CST Sat Nov 15 2025

The synoptic pattern throughout the forecast will consist of an
upper level trough moving through the Northern Plains today with a
ridge of high pressure above the Central Plains and Southern Plains
through this weekend. A shortwave trough will then move through the
area early next week with a weak ridge rebuilding across the Plains
mid week. A stronger system looks to move through the area by late
week. This pattern will bring mostly dry conditions to western
Kansas through at least the mid part of next week with increased
cloud cover mid to late part of next week.

Towards the surface, a cold front will move through the area this
morning shifting winds to the north. This will be short lived as
winds become light tonight and shift back to the south by tomorrow.
Another weak cold front will move through the area Monday shifting
winds back to the north but once again. Light winds are then
expected through Wednesday night then increase in speed Thursday and
Friday as the next system approaches. The NBM brings a slight chance
of precipitation starting as early as Wednesday with a better chance
Thursday night into Friday. As for temperatures, highs will rise
into the mid to upper 70s today with mid 60s to low 70s tomorrow and
Monday. Highs in the 60s are expected Tuesday and Wednesday before a
cool down into the 50s by late week. Lows will generally be in the
30s and 40s.
