Area Forecast Discussion

235 PM CDT Tue Aug 12 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Temperatures will continue to rise 10-15 degrees through
  Friday afternoon. 3/4ths of the areas will range the mid to
  upper 90s with the low triple digits possible in a few
  breakout spots across our Kansas and far southwestern Nebraska
  areas.

- There is a 15-25% chance for storms to clip our northern
  fringes late Wednesday night. It should be rare for any
  precipitation to reach south of I-80.

- The best precipitation potential across the next 7-days falls
  Saturday and Sunday nights (20-30% chances), though some
  uncertainty keeps confidence on the lower end for now.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 233 PM CDT Tue Aug 12 2025


Tonight through Friday...


Highs top out this afternoon in the 80s with light north to
northeasterly winds, blowing no greater than 10 MPH. The light winds
and somewhat saturated low-levels could help redevelop some fog late
tonight into Wednesday morning. The uncertainty of how Dense fog
may actually become keeps the discussion of a Dense Fog Advisory
out for this forecast cycle. Otherwise, clearer skies are also
prevalent today from the long awaited exit of this past weekend`s
disturbance, responsible for helping initiate the scattered storms
and showers across the last few days.

The rest of this period should remain fairly dry, though a shortwave
embedded in the flow on the back side of the exiting trough could
stir up a few storms across Northern Nebraska late Wednesday night.
The CAMs currently show these storms originating over western
Wyoming, not reaching northern Nebraska until just after midnight.
There is some uncertainty to how intense these storm may still be at
this time of night or how expansive their coverage may actually be.
All storm chances (15-25%) should still stay well north of I-80,
only impacting a few of our far northern fringes.

Up aloft, the upper level trough axis moves out and away, creating
space for broad ridging to take shape in the Central U.S. At the
surface, a low pressure trough forming along the Rockies will help
stabilize southerly flow starting Wednesday. Winds 10-20 MPH
Wednesday afternoon, could gust as high as 30 MPH in a few of our
mainly western areas. These features combined (transiting ridging
pattern and surface pressure falls) will help the south/southwestern
warm air mass seep up across the next several days. Highs as result
will raise 10-15 degree by Friday.

Heat index values could rise above 100 in a few isolated
southeastern places Thursday and for nearly 3/4ths of the area
Friday. Highs in the afternoon will spread the low 90s towards the
northeast, and up to the upper 90s with a few isolated low triple
digit areas possible in a few Kansas and southwestern nebraska
areas. Early projections of the NWS Heat Risk classify most of the
area into the Moderate (level 3 of 4 or [Red shade]) risk level.
This generally implies that any person without an effective cooling
source may be effected by the heat.


Saturday and Beyond...


Though Friday is expected to be the hottest day of the week,
temperatures should not fall more than a degree or two Saturday
afternoon. This gradual cooling trend may continue through next
Tuesday, though highs will not be expected to fall below the mid
80s. The ridging pattern looks likely to amplify over the weekend.
These is some question of what surface features could be present
over the weekend, though another cold front could be in the area.

Precipitation chances should become slightly more favorable than
what they are through the workweek (up to 20-30% chances SAT/SUN
nights). There is still several details that will need to be worked
out in refining storm potential and increasing confidence. The best
potential currently lies Sunday night with the possibility of a weak
passing upper level wave and potentially a stationary/cold front
hanging around the block. There is still just too much uncertainty
with these weekend storm chances to assess their coverage or
potential impacts in more detail.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1149 AM CDT Tue Aug 12 2025

For KGRI/KEAR Airports:

Cloud free VFR conditions are expected over the next 24-hours
with no chance of precipitation. Light winds will start of the
northwest to north, gradually becoming northeasterly through
the afternoon. Light to calm and variable winds overnight, will
eventually reestablish southerly for Wednesday. There is some
lower end chances that fog could develop in a few isolated areas
given the lighter winds. Confidence at this time remain low to
Medium (30-40%). The best timeframe for fog would lie between
10-14z.
