.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 221 AM CST Sat Nov 23 2024

Today through Tuesday...

An upper trough will settle over the nation`s midsection today.
This will lead to a boost in temperatures this afternoon. Look
for highs to reach the the low to mid 50s today under light
southerly winds.

A cold front will swing through the forecast area Sunday, capping
highs in the 40s over northeast Nebraska. Farther south, mainly
along and south of I-80, we should still make it into the 50s before
the cooler air moves in during the afternoon. A few models hint at
the potential for a sprinkle or two with the frontal passage or
flurries after the cold air moves through Sunday afternoon and
evening, however most forecast soundings suggest a relatively dry
profile will prevent that. On the other hand, if the outliers are
correct, precipitation likely won`t have any significant impacts.

Colder air settles into the region for Monday and Tuesday, with dry
conditions prevailing. Highs will only top out in the 30s Monday and
low 40s Tuesday. Overnight, lows will fall into the teens and 20s.

Wednesday...

The next upper level disturbance is still on track to move out of
the Rockies on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing the potential for
rain and snow to the region. While deterministic models continue to
bring pull the precipitation potential south, over Kansas and
Missouri, there is still a small contingent of ensemble members
(around 30%) that bring an inch or more of snow to the forecast
area, south of I-80. Currently, any impacts from this wave look
minimal, with the majority of precipitation expected to remain to
our south. However, we will continue to monitor any potential
northward shift, as the peak travel days of the holiday season
approach.

Thanksgiving Day and Beyond...

Precipitation chances diminish by Thanksgiving day through the end
of the week. Temperatures will plummet, as a chilly air mass pushes
south out of Canada to close out the month. Highs on Thanksgiving
day will struggle to make it out of the mid 30s. By Friday and
Saturday, most locations will be stuck in the upper 20s and low 30s
for highs. Overnight lows are currently forecast to dip into the
teens and single digits.

Looking ahead, CPC outlooks continue to show a good chance to for
the downward spiral in below normal temperatures to continue through
the next 6 to 14 days. Precipitation outlooks, on the other hand,
have shifted toward near normal trends through the next 14 days.
