KEY MESSAGES

- Temps climb a few degrees for Sunday as elevated wildfire smoke produces some milky skies.

- Periodic shower and storm chances return by late Monday night into Tuesday and linger through at least Thursday.

FURTHER DOWN THE LINE

The remainder of the forecast is unsettled and a bit of a question mark as the eventual landing place of that stalled cold front from Monday/Tuesday has lots of spread among global models. Regardless, its nebulous placement in the central CONUS, regular ejections of shortwaves, and an atmosphere rife with moisture will keep a small threat of showers/thunder continuing through the week. Sometimes these eventual waves of moisture don't make their presence known until 48 hours out.

AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/

Issued at 1156 AM CDT Sat Aug 1 2026

Breezy northerly winds with gusts of 20-25 knots continue through the afternoon today before becoming light and variable overnight. This should allow the development of some patchy fog, especially in low-lying areas. Have introduced some MVFR vis at KOFK from 09Z to 15Z Sunday morning and left OMA and LNK unaffected for now due to low confidence.
