.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 346 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
The main concern in the short term will be the showers
and thunderstorms through the evening hours. Moisture transport has
been fairly efficient within the heavy bands of rain that have
set up across southwest Nebraska. So far amounts of around 2 to
4 inches of rainfall have fallen within the narrow bands of
heavy rainfall. Have started to see dry air moving in from the
north and a secondary band of heavy rainfall developing across
far southwestern Nebraska, thus current thinking is the original
band of heavy rainfall, generally along the I-80 corridor will
begin to decrease as the southern band becomes the dominate band
and the dry air overspreads. This will also help to shift the
rainfall southward, with eventually rainfall moving south and
out of the area by late evening, with rain ending for the CWA by
midnight. Could see additional rainfall amounts around 0.5 to 1
inch across heavier rain bands. Could still see some minor
flooding in low-lying areas the remainder of this afternoon and
evening, within the heaviest rainfall bands.
After the rain moves out of the area tonight, drier conditions
expected for Wednesday with highs reaching the low 70s.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 346 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
An upper level ridge builds in across the western CONUS
that will start to moderate temperatures through the week. Highs
will reach the 80s by Friday, which is around 10 to 15 degrees above
normal for this time of year. A front will push through late Friday,
bringing cooler temperatures on Saturday with highs in the mid to
upper 70s.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 649 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025
VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period.
Lingering rain and low stratus will persist through the evening
hours but should remain VFR conditions at both terminals. Early
Wednesday morning, patchy fog will be possible across the region
but confidence in conditions below VFR remain low. Breezy
northwest winds will develop after daybreak Wednesday but gusts
will be limited to around 20 knots. Sky coverage will gradually
wane with mostly clear skies likely by the end of the forecast
period.
