KEY MESSAGES

- Powerful northwesterly winds continue through the morning before tapering through the remainder of Wednesday.

- Light, mixed-precipitation chances (20-30%) Wednesday night into Thursday, followed by a return of colder temperatures for the weekend.

- Another round of light snow is possible (20-40% chance) Friday night into Saturday.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND

Behind the exiting system, cooler air builds in on Friday. Highs near freezing will fall shy of seasonal norms. Even colder temps are expected on Saturday and Sunday as an arctic airmass settles into the upper Mississippi River valley. AM Lows are forecast to slip into the single digits. Sunday morning wind chills may dip as cold as -20 to -10 for areas east of a line from Omaha to Norfolk.

Global deterministic models indicate weak ridging across the area early next week lending itself to moderating temperatures. C'mon global deterministic models!

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/

Issued at 525 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025

Strong northwesterly winds continue with gusts up to 50 knots. These winds will continue to taper over the course of the day before becoming light and variable after dark.

Northeastern portions of the area including KOFK and KOMA are under a deck of MVFR cigs at FL026. That deck is slowly building west, but may come up just short of KLNK. Have kept KLNK's TAF free of this deck, but confidence isn't great in that assessment. It will be close. These clouds should lift by about 16Z this morning. Otherwise VFR conditions are anticipated.

Light snow is possible (20%) in OFK after midnight tonight. It would likely be flurries and not accumulate.
