  daily chances for scattered rain and snow showers. Isolated
  thunder will be possible.

- Warmer and drier conditions are expected to return for the
  weekend.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 201 PM MDT Tue Apr 28 2026

An area or bubble of high pressure will move over our portion of the
Intermountain West this evening and into the overnight period. This
will start to clear out most of the sky throughout the night and
give us a temporary break in rain/snow showers. This area of high
pressure will create a low level nocturnal surface inversion over
the high plains. Model soundings depict the environment as a shallow
almost super adiabatic close to the surface that will help trap any
low level moisture producing radiational fog in the morning. Right
now the highest area of confidence is the Nebraska panhandle but
patchy fog may be possible for all areas east of the I-25 corridor
with the recent moderate rain/snowfall. However, A disorganized
upper level trough will inch its way into the into the Intermountain
West as the parent broad upper level low remains parked over the
Great Lakes Region. In response the winds will shift directions
throughout the day Wednesday from our weak westerlies to a northerly
direction and finally an easterly upslope direction Wednesday Night
into Thursday morning. Some lingering vort-maxes will accompany the
trough to aid the synoptic support to produce some afternoon and
evening showers. While the mountains may get decent accumulations of
a couple tenths, much lower values of a tenth or less is expected
for areas east of I-25. By Friday, the disorganized upper level low
will be mainly to our south. A messy ridge will try to build back
into the northern Rockies Friday into the weekend, but this will be
undercut by the lingering upper level low meandering over the Four
Corners states. Expect warm air advection and reduced precipitation
chances on Friday. High temperatures for Friday look to return to
near seasonal averages of 50`s and 60`s for the majority of the
forecast area.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 201 PM MDT Tue Apr 28 2026

Long term remains active as we see a quick warming and dryout
over the weekend, but the return of a more progressive pattern
next week should usher back chances of rain and possibly spring
thunderstorms to the area. Friday begins with the region falling
in between several primary features - a deep upper level low
covering the Eastern US, a secondary trough over the Desert
Southwest, and a ridge moving inland across the Pacific
Northwest and beginning to encroach upon our area. This should
help to sweep out the precipitation we`ll be seeing during the
week out of the area and usher in clearing and warming, but not
before lingering moisture and the influence of the trough to our
south may produce an isolated morning shower for the day. By the
afternoon, skies will clear and temperatures should rebound into
the 50`s and 60`s.

Saturday the region will be under the influence of the meager
ridge that will move into the area, allowing for further warm
air advection and increasing temperatures, as highs bounce into
the 60`s and 70`s. Sunday will see the influence of this ridge
wane as several shortwave impulses ride across the periphery of
this system spurred by the deep Eastern US low, with a
California low sandwiching the other side and helping to
flatten the ridge more southward. With a combination of some
Pacific and monsoonal moisture moving into the area, PWATs
should be on the rise, up to near to just above normal, allowing
new development of isolated to scattered showers. Favorable low
level lapse rates and some meager pockets of instability may
also induce an isolated thunderstorm or two, but don`t expect
much out of the day aside from some rumbles of thunder.

Monday looks similar as further moisture moves into the area and
PWAT anomalies increase to around 0.1 inch above normal with a
weak shortwave promoting further scattered precipitation
development for the day. This time similar lapse rates and a bit
more widespread weak instability should allow for better chances
of thunderstorms, but once again mostly anticipating some weak
thunder activity with minimal concerns for anything stronger.
Overall this activity will not be a drought buster by any means,
but the chance of a localized stronger storm could bring a hit
of beneficial moisture for anywhere underneath.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1133 AM MDT Tue Apr 28 2026

Low CIGs and some lingering light rain/mist continue in the
Nebraska Panhandle, but should be clearing over the next hour or
two. After this, expect mid level clouds with a chance of
precipitation at all sites, with thunder even possible,
particularly for our Nebraska sites. Precipitation could also be
mixed for KLAR and/or KCYS, including thunder and snow.
Precipitation should move out this evening with clearing
expected for the most part, however patchy fog should return in
Nebraska with KBFF/KSNY/KAIA seeing the most likely impacts from
low clouds/fog. Winds will pick up with this precipitation this
afternoon, with gusts 20-30 knots all sites except for KCDR
where light winds are expected. Overnight into tomorrow, expect
prevailing winds to become light all sites at speeds 10 knots or
less.
