.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1225 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025

...Synopsis...

Southwesterly flow at the surface has aided in solid warm air
advection across the region this morning. This has facilitated
warming temperatures and combined with diurnal trends in heating
will allow for areas with mostly clear skies to approach
records. Cloud cover may hamper some heating in the northern
tier of the CWA, so it may be more of a struggle to hit daily
highs.

Water vapor satellite shows an upper low currently attempting to
dig southeastward. Attached to this is a frontal boundary that
will sweep through this evening and overnight. Forcing is very
weak with limited synoptic support, so impacts will be minimal.
Additionally, with the warmth of the column, precipitation types
should remain primarily rain, although a few flakes may make it
in.

This weekend will be cooler with drier conditions prevailing.
Ensemble spread increases as we progress into next week with
split-flow.

...WINTER IMPACTS NEXT WEEK...

Split flow across the CONUS has created wide ensemble spread for
potential winter impacts next week. There remains high
confidence in at least some system impacting the CONUS, but to
what degree this means for our area is the question. At this
time, it appears more and more likely that impacts should remain
away from our area, however if we do receive impacts it will
more likely than not trend towards advisory level impacts.
Cluster maxes indicate reasonable ceilings at advisory level
impacts due to accumulating snow, however these represent the
absolute most extreme circumstances. Given high uncertainty in
temperatures through the timeframe of this system and where max
forcing lies, WSSI-P values remain around 10% for minor impacts.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 1120 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025

VFR conditions will prevail during the TAF period. Southwest
winds will increase through the afternoon. As a front sweeps
through this evening and overnight, winds will shift to
northwesterly with the chance for a few rain showers, but
aviation impacts should remain limited. Behind this, skies will
clear out to mostly clear by the end of the TAF period.
