DISCUSSION

Issued at 1108 PM CST Fri Nov 6 2026

The forecast period starts out with clouds moving into the region from the west and fog developing around the Holdrege, NE and Phillipsburg, KS area. Clouds are expected to decrease in some areas overnight, which, when paired with the combination of radiational cooling and light winds, would be conducive for fog development. Fog potential was expanded a bit for tonight/tomorrow morning, particularly for eastern Nebraska. Could get some areas of patchy dense fog, especially toward the western edges of the CWA. With the continued cloud cover and fog potential, temperatures were kept similar to the previous forecast, with maybe a couple of spots reaching the freezing mark tomorrow morning.

The pattern shifts Saturday as a closed low sits just to the east of the Baja Peninsula, a ridge extends south to north from western California to the Wyoming Black Hills, and westerly flow sets up over our CWA, transitioning to northerly through the day. Expected high temperatures are currently forecasted to be in the upper 50s to low 60s; however, cloud cover could play a factor in this. A delay in skies clearing out may result in some slightly lower temperatures than are currently forecasted.

Sunday and Monday, northwest flow persists over the region as a mid- level ridge shifts east and the low over Mexico lifts east-northeast into central and northern Texas. Sunday highs will be very similar to Saturday, reaching the upper 50s with a few mid-60s possible for areas along the Kansas/Nebraska/Iowa/Missouri borders. By Monday, highs will warm into the upper 60s to low 70s for the I-80 corridor and areas south. Areas north of I-80 can expect low to mid-60s.

A cold front drops across northern Nebraska Monday morning, slightly cooling temperatures into the 60s for the entire CWA by Tuesday afternoon.

After tonight, lows each night are expected to range from the mid- 30s to mid-40s each night. Dry conditions are expected through the forecast period.

Fog has been slow to develop overnight. Primarily in western Iowa, some fog has been reported west of KOFK and KLNK. Have forecast a few hours of MVFR visibility at KLNK due to the fog, but confidence is low. Otherwise, expect light southerly flow become southwesterly this evening and westerly by midnight.
