.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 402 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025

The main concern in the short term will be patchy fog in
the morning and the heavy rainfall potential today through
Sunday. Low level moisture and light winds tonight will lead to
patchy fog across parts of the Sandhills. A low will track
across Nebraska and lead to scattered to widespread showers and
thunderstorms on Saturday. Heavy rainfall will be possible,
especially east of HWY 83. Low stratus will also accompany
rainfall and keep skies cloudy and temperatures cool through the
day. Severe weather potential is not expected as rain cooled
air will keep instability negligible.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 402 AM CDT Sat Aug 30 2025

As the low continues to slowly track east across the
region rainfall will continue to wrap around the low. Rain will
begin to diminish in the morning across western Nebraska with most
of the lingering rainfall throughout the day Sunday across the
eastern portion of the CWA, east of HWY 83. Rain is expected to come
to an end by Monday morning. Temperatures will briefly warm back
into the 80s on Tuesday. Another disturbance moves in late Tuesday
with temperatures dropping back into the upper 60s to low 70 along
with precipitation chances Wednesday morning.
