.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 408 AM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025

Patchy fog and lingering rain showers will be the main
concern in the short term. Low level moisture and light winds
tonight will lead to yet another overnight and morning of patchy fog
across parts of the Sandhills into north central Nebraska. Fog is
expected to remain patchy, however could see visibility drop to a
half mile or potentially lower, but given the patchy nature no dense
fog headline is anticipated at this time. The low will continue to
track slowly eastward with wrap around rain showers continuing
to linger across portions of the Sandhills into north central
Nebraska, generally along and east of HWY 83. As the low
continues to track eastward rain will come to an end from west
to east. Below normal temperatures are expected with rain
showers and low stratus throughout the day. Temperatures will
be around 10 to 15 degrees below normal for areas of the
Sandhills and north central Nebraska with highs in the 60s.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 408 AM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025

An upper level ridge across the western CONUS will move
eastward with western and north central Nebraska on the periphery of
the ridge Tuesday with drier conditions expected and a brief warm up
as temperatures warm into the upper 70s to low 80s. A disturbance
moves through late Tuesday in the form of a cold front and will cool
temperatures back into the 60s and 70s. Temperatures will gradually
warm across western Nebraska back into the upper 70s to 80s thorugh
the week as the upper level ridge advances slightly eastward. The
eastern portion of the CWA will still remain in cooler air as an
upper level low to the east drops south out of Canada into the Great
Lakes region, southward into the Missouri Valley region by late week
bringing wrap around cooler air into portions of central and eastern
Nebraska. As for precipitation chances, expect mostly dry conditions
through the end of the week.
