.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 423 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025

The main concern in the short term is the dense fog development
across southwest Nebraska. The combination of abundant low
level moisture and light winds has led to visibilities dropping
as low as a quarter mile across southwest Nebraska, including
along the I-80 corridor. Dense fog has increasingly become more
widespread thus a dense fog advisory was issued through mid-
morning. Fog should being to dissipate as temperatures warm in
the morning and winds increase to around 5 to 10 mph.

As for precipitation chances today, a low off to the east will bring
some chances for wrap around showers through the day. As the low
continues to move south and east, rain chances will move east as
well, with the greatest threat for linger rain showers in the
afternoon to early evening generally along and east of HWY 183. Only
light qpf is expected, generally around 0.10" or less. Precip is
expected to come to an end this evening.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Issued at 423 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025

Temperatures will briefly warm back into the 80s on Tuesday, as
an upper level ridge across the western CONUS will move
eastward with western and north central Nebraska on the
periphery of the ridge Tuesday. Drier conditions will also be
expected for Tuesday. A disturbance moves through late Tuesday
in the form of a cold front and will cool temperatures back into
the 60s and 70s on Wednesday. Temperatures will gradually warm
across western Nebraska back into the upper 70s to 80s Thursday
as the upper level ridge advances slightly eastward, before
another disturbance moves through on Friday with temperatures
cooling back into the 60s and 70s again. As for precipitation
chances, overall expect the remainder of the week to remain
mostly dry.
