.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 340 AM CST Sun Nov 30 2025

The forecast period starts out with northwest flow over the Great
Plains and the surface low that brought wintry weather to the area
will continue to lift to the northeast, into the Great Lakes. Winds
will gradually decrease as the low continues to move out of the
region. Some patchy blowing snow may still be possible early this
morning, which could result in some slick surfaces. Use caution if
heading out the door this morning.

Cold air settles into the region today and tomorrow. Expected highs
today will top out in the teens and 20s with lows in the single
digits and teens. Monday morning wind chill values will be in the
single digits above and below zero for most of the region. A few
areas along the Kansas/Nebraska border may be in the low teens.
Monday`s highs will be slightly warmer, reaching the 20s. Our next
chance for precipitation will begin Sunday night/Monday morning. A
mid level wave will cross the region just south of the
Nebraska/Kansas state line. Areas along and north of the Platte
River may receive a dusting to around an inch of snow. South of the
river, one to four inches of snow will be possible. The highest
accumulations right now are expected for areas along and south of a
line from Beatrice to Auburn. A Winter Weather Advisory has been
issued for a few counties in southeastern Nebraska for Monday. Snow
and cloud cover will clear out from west to east Monday evening.
Temperatures are expected to plummet, with lows falling into the
single digits above zero. Wind chill values will be in the single
digits below zero for most areas.

Weak ridging sets up on Tuesday, following the departure of the
shortwave trough. High temperatures will return to the 30s for most
on Tuesday and Wednesday and the 20s for lows Wednesday morning.

A cold front is expected to drop into the region from the north on
Wednesday. This will usher in considerably colder air by Thursday
morning. Additionally, clouds are expected to decrease, helping
temps drop. Expected lows will be in the single digits above zero
along the Kansas/Nebraska border, with single digits below zero for
areas along and north of Interstate 80. Wind chill values may reach
as low as -16 in some locations. Thursday, the front exits the
region, with the cold air remaining in place. Highs will be in the
teens in Iowa and along the Missouri River, with 20s in Nebraska.
Warmer weather will return on Friday, with temperatures returning to
the 30s.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1058 AM CST Sun Nov 30 2025

MVFR clouds have settled into the region today, while north
winds increased to 10 to 12 kts. A patch of clearing skies will
try to shift west into the KOMA region this afternoon, but may
struggle to remain VFR for an extended period of time. Honestly,
the models continue to struggle with the current cloud cover,
leading to poor confidence in the ceiling forecast this
afternoon and evening. There is agreement that MVFR-IFR cloud
cover will increase tonight and into Monday, as our next weather
system approaches, bringing light snow to the region. The best
chance for snow will be across southeast Nebraska and southwest
Iowa tomorrow. Light snow will begin around 09Z at KLNK, and 11Z
at KOMA, and continue through the end of the TAF period.
