.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 329 PM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Despite cooler-than-normal temperatures, clearing skies and
decreasing winds has resulted in a fairly pleasant day as we
kick off the month of November. A few high clouds will move
through the area this evening into tonight, but temperatures are
expected to dip below freezing across the area tonight into
Sunday morning.

Southerly winds return on Sunday as ridging builds over the
central CONUS. This should help temperatures reach the 60s and
even 70s in western zones. This significant warmup will result
in humidity values down around 20 percent Sunday afternoon west
of Highway 283, and occasional gusts over 20 MPH may result in
elevated fire weather conditions.

A cold front moves through Sunday night. This, combined with
increased cloud cover, will knock temperatures back into the
upper 50s and 60s for Monday. Temperatures then rebound the
60s and 70s on Tuesday but will be bumped back into the 50s on
60s on Wednesday as an upper shortwave pushes another cold
front through the area.

Ridging re-establishes for Thursday/Friday, and ensembles
continue to show high confidence in dry conditions through the
end of the week. The next potential for any precipitation would
be Friday into next Saturday a stronger frontal system. Even
then, potential is fairly low (5-15%), and details remain
uncertain.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025

For KGRI/KEAR Airports:

High confidence VFR conditions are expected through the period
with just some passing high clouds...mainly in the first 6
hours...and good VSBYS throughout. Could see some very marginal
LLWS during the early morning hours as a weak LLJ develops
across the area by around 02/09Z, but surface winds have
already become southerly and they will likely increase to near
10 KTS over the next few hours, limiting the potential for any
true LLWS. Winds should then increase a bit further during the
daytime hours Sunday as the pressure gradient tightens a bit
ahead of a cold front, with a few gusts to 20 KTS+ possible
during the afternoon hours. The front will bring a shift to
more northerly winds just beyond the current TAF period,
although they will likely remain much lighter Monday.
