.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1107 PM CDT Sat Oct 3 2026

River flooding continues along the Big Blue and Turkey Creek, with
the crest approaching Beatrice.

A shortwave trough dipping towards the Great Lakes region pulled a
weak cold front through the forecast area this evening. A few
showers tried to bubble up along the boundary, but precip struggled
to reach the surface through a dry sub-cloud layer. Temperatures
surged in the daytime sunshine, warming into the mid and upper 70s.

Mostly sunny conditions will prevail over the next few days, with
highs remaining in the 60s and 70s through Monday. A thermal ridge
over the western CONUS will shift eastward by midweek, warming us
back into at least the mid 70s.  While there remains a slight chance
for a few warm air advection showers Thursday into Friday, the
overall forecast remains notably dry through the majority of the
next 7 days.

Issued at 1136 PM CDT Sat Oct 3 2026

VFR conditions are favored through the forecast period with
mostly clear skies. Patchy fog may develop overnight in river
valleys and low-lying areas, though the probability of impacts
at the terminals remains low (15% chance). Otherwise, winds have
shifted out of the north behind a frontal passage, with wind
speeds remaining under 12 kts through the forecast period.
