DISCUSSION

Issued at 132 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

Early morning patchy ground fog has dissipated and sunny skies dominate across the region as high pressure settles over the area. Troughing is exiting the region to the east and ridging will begin to build in. The ridge axis extends from southern California into the Northern Rockies placing the Sunflower state under upper level northwesterly flow. At the surface, a faint boundary is draped across the KS/NE border. This feature will begin lifting northward as a warm front later today. Southerly to southeasterly flow will support a gradual warmup across the area beginning today and continuing into the middle of the week. Highs each afternoon through Wednesday will top out in the upper 60s and lower 70s with overnight lows generally falling into the 40s areawide. Mostly clear conditions are expected, however overnight radiational cooling may continue to lead to patchy fog across the state each morning.

By mid week, a deep trough will begin to dig into the Northeast US The forecast area will on the western periphery of the trough and will be grazed by multiple short waves for the end of the week. The better dynamics and moisture look to remain just to our east at this time, limiting our precip chances with this feature. A cold front will push across the eastern half of the country bringing more seasonable temperatures to the Central Plains. Temperatures for Thursday and Friday will be slightly cooler with highs topping out in the upper 50s and lower 60s and lows dipping into the 30s once again.

Just like the last few days, the main aviation concern will be fog potential.

Another night of radiational cooling will be on tap with fog expected to develop after midnight. Southern KS looks to have the better chances due to slightly deeper moisture depth. For now will run with fog starting in the 08-10z time frame with KICT going down to 2sm after 10z with slightly better vis expected at KCNU.
