Today and Tuesday:

Surface high pressure centered over the northern and central
Plains early this morning will build southeast through the area
today. The high pressure is associated with a cold,
continental-polar air mass with 2 AM temperatures in the teens
and 20s, and wind chills in the single digits and teens. The
air mass will undergo partial modification today with highs in
the mid 30s to low 40s. Some low clouds are present early this
morning along and east of the MO River. However, they should
dissipate prior to or shortly after daybreak with considerable
sunshine expected through the remainder of the day.

Tonight into Tuesday, a weak, mid-level impulse will track
through the northern Plains and mid-MO Valley in tandem with an
associated surface trough/weak front. Low-level warm advection
is forecast to develop ahead of the mid-level wave, supporting
an increase in clouds tonight into Tuesday morning. Clouds will
clear behind the surface front Tuesday afternoon with downslope
warming contributing to considerably warmer highs in the upper
50s to upper 60s.


Wednesday through Friday:

A mid-level ridge centered over the Rockies on Wednesday is
forecast to shift east into the Great Plains Thursday. Mid-level
heights begin to fall by Friday, downstream from a trough
moving through the Interior West. In the low levels, a lee
trough will deepen over the High Plains, with resultant
southerly winds drawing an increasingly warm and moist air mass
into the region, especially on Thursday and Friday. Highs in the
50s and 60s on Wednesday are expected to warm into the 60s
Thursday, and 60s to low 70s Friday.


This Weekend:

The 00z deterministic and ensemble mean numerical guidance
indicate the above-mentioned, mid-level trough moving into the
central U.S. However, differences exist in the handling of the
southern aspect of the trough in the form of a closed low
tracking through the south-central states. That variability in
the mid-level pattern translates to timing differences with
associated cold front moving through our area, and the
precipitation distribution along and ahead of the front.

This forecast update will indicate increasing precipitation
chances Saturday afternoon into Sunday with highs in the 50s and
60s Saturday cooling into the 40s by Sunday. This scenario could
change between now and then once the models come into better
agreement.

Issued at 512 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the forecast
period with increasing high-level cloudiness (FL200-250). The
MVFR cloud deck that moved through KOMA early this morning
currently resides between KOMA and KLNK, where it is expected to
dissipate within the next couple of hours. Light northwest winds
this morning are forecast to switch to southwest or south this
afternoon at less than 12 kt. The exception is at KOFK where
winds will strengthen to 12 kt for a few hours this afternoon.
South winds will then strengthen to 12 kt by 11/03-05z at all
terminal locations, at which time LLWS will also develop.

.KEY MESSAGES...

- A modest warm-up into the 40s anticipated across the local
  area today, with unseasonably warm temperatures returning to
  the area (60s & low 70s) Tuesday-Friday.

- Dry weather is anticipated all week with the next chance
  (15-35%) for some light rain anticipated for Saturday and
  Sunday.

- Plenty of uncertainty continues with the weekend system, but
  at this time, rain looks much more probable than snow.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 355 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

Clear skies and generally light winds have allowed temperatures
to fall into the lower to mid teens across the majority of the
forecast area early this morning - with a few single digit
readings detected in mesonet data across portions of Dawson
county. These are the coldest morning temps for most locations
since late February.

For this morning, expect temperatures to bottom out right
around sunrise, with a rebound into the 40s for most locations
this afternoon. This will be in response to light southerly
return flow ushering in modestly warmer air this afternoon as
the area of surface high pressure across the area this morning
shifts east.

Across the upper levels, high pressure to our west will shift
east across the area by Tuesday, allowing temperatures to
moderate further and return to above normal levels for the
remainder of the week. This will also shift the focus of the jet
stream well to our north and east, keeping conditions dry
through the end of the week.

Thereafter...models still have some significant differences
with the handling of the next more significant west coast
trough/low that will move into the plains over the weekend, with
quite a spread in ensemble member QPF depictions across the
local area. While the majority of the ensemble members continue
to indicate this Pacific storm system will be warm enough to
support rain, a handful of mainly EC ensemble members are
hinting at a chance for snow. At the moment, given the
uncertainties, the model blend used in the official forecast
is advertising fairly mild temperatures with a 15-35% chance
of rain over the weekend.

Issued at 529 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025

For KGRI/KEAR Airports:

High confidence VFR conditions through the period with just some
passing high level clouds and good VSBYS.

For this morning...expect light westerly winds to persist
through the mid-morning hours...with winds increasing to near 12
KTS out of the south by 10/17Z. Winds will then remain steady
through the afternoon hours, increasing some this evening as a
modest LLJ develops across the region. Given the increase in
surface winds and the focus of the LLJ to the east of the
terminals, did not include the mention for LLWS tonight. CIGS
will not be an issue through the period...with only variable
amounts of high level cloud cover anticipated.
