.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 245 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025

Another cold start to the day this morning, with overnight lows in
the single digits to lower teens across the region. Wind chills this
morning are expected to be near to below zero, especially during the
morning commute. Skies gradually clear this morning from west to
east. This will allow for some additional daytime heating across
western Nebraska, where highs may reach the mid 30s this afternoon.
Further east, where cloud cover lingers and a snow pack still
exists, highs are expected to reach the upper 20s to low 30s. Cloud
cover is eventually expected to track back into the region later
this evening, which will help keep overnight lows slightly warmer,
with lows expected to remain in the teens across the region, and
wind chills dropping into the single digits.

Warmer conditions are expected on Tuesday, as highs are expected to
climb into the 40s across most of the region. Throughout the
afternoon, a cold front tracks across South Dakota. By Tuesday
evening, the cold front is expected to reach northern Nebraska,
bringing our next precipitation chances mostly along and north of
Highway 2. At this time, new snow accumulations appear to be light,
and mostly around Pine Ridge. Temperatures behind the front are
expected to drop into the teens across northern Nebraska Tuesday
night into Wednesday. Any snow showers are expected to dissipate by
Wednesday morning, with the rest of the day remaining mostly cloudy
across the region. Highs climb into the upper 20s to lower 30s.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 245 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025

Cold air advection continues Wednesday night and will give another
cold start to Thursday morning. Overnight temperatures are expected
to range from the low teens in the west to the low single digits in
north central Nebraska. With these cold temperatures, also expecting
that wind chills will range from the low single digits in the west
to negative wind chills in north central Nebraska. However, mostly
clear skies will help temperatures climb into the 40s across the
region. From Thursday into the weekend, northwesterly flow aloft is
expected. This is expected to usher in near seasonal temperatures
Friday and Saturday, with highs in the mid 40s. Precipitation
chances remain low into the weekend, outside of a slight chance of
snow showers Saturday night across far northwestern Nebraska.
