.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1255 AM CST Sat Mar 7 2026

A cold front has moved through the area, bringing sharply cooler
and more dry air to the region. Highs today will be in the
lower to mid 50s with clearing sky.

Sunday through Tuesday, zonal mid-level flow and southerly
surface flow will bring warmer air back into the area, with highs
in the mid to upper 70s Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, a
southern stream trough across northern Mexico and a northern
stream trough across Montana will move eastward into the Plains.
These are forecast to phase together somewhere in the central
Plains Tuesday into Wednesday. With ample moist advection and
lift from these two systems, showers and thunderstorms appear
probable across portions of the area by midweek. Behind this
system, cooler air is favored to move in. There remains a
sizable spread in the ensembles with respect to temperature and
precipitation next week, thus confidence in forecast details for
next week is low at this time.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1026 PM CST Fri Mar 6 2026

Think the line of storms will for the most part be east of TOP
and FOE at 06Z. There continues to be some IFR CIGS behind the
front and models have this lasting for only a few hours. But the
MVFR stratus looks to hang on until around 17Z or 18Z. VFR
conditions are forecast to develop by early afternoon as cool
dry air advects in from the northwest.
