.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025

South winds return and sunny skies will help warm temperatures up
today as surface high pressure pushes east of Kansas. Models
are in good agreement with another surge of polar air sinking
southward from the northern plains and spreading into Kansas on
Wednesday/Wednesday night. This surge of colder air will also be
accompanied by increasing north winds during the day on
Wednesday. The combination of polar air and north winds will
drop wind chill readings to near zero degrees over central
Kansas for Thursday morning, with all other areas dropping in
the single digits.

A dry and quiet weather pattern looks to persist for several days as
a upper level northwest flow regime becomes well established thus
keeping moisture shoved well south of Kansas. Temperatures will
gradually warm for Friday and Saturday followed by another push of
colder air on Sunday.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1157 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025

A cold front will move south across the region late tonight
through Wednesday, with gusty north-northeast winds in its wake,
along with MVFR ceilings. Additionally, could see some patchy
light snow flurries later tonight into early Wednesday for the
GBD-RSL-SLN TAF sites. Thinking any snow will remain very light
due to high cloud bases and weak lift, and absolutely no
accumulation is expected. Consequently, did not included mention
in the 18z routine TAFs at this time.
