.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 141 AM CDT Sat Oct 31 2026

Current observations show abundant low clouds across much of the
area this morning. This is fortunate as it may be preventing dense
fog from forming. Will continue to monitor for dense fog but it
appears that visibilities will generally be around 3-5 miles or
unrestricted. The end of precipitation and a resumption of
southerly flow and warm air advection sends highs back up to
normal this weekend.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 141 AM CDT Sat Oct 31 2026

An upper trough moves across the western United States and into
the central Plains on Monday. Skies clear out and southerly winds
increase ahead of the trough taking highs above normal to the
upper 70s and 80s. The trough brings a modified airmass and weak
cold front through the CWA Monday night bringing temperatures back
down to near normal. The remainder of the forecast is dry with
temps near normal continuing.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 643 AM CDT Sat Oct 31 2026

IFR/MVFR conditions are expected to remain through the TAF period.
There could be a brief increase to VFR this afternoon but lower
conditions are generally expected to continue. Fog should be light
and not much of an aviation factor.
