KEY MESSAGES

- A brief warmup is expected Monday into Tuesday, with highs in the 30s and 40s on Monday, rising another 10-15 degrees on Tuesday.

- Precipitation chances increase late Wednesday into Thursday (25-50%), followed by a return to cooler conditions by the end of the workweek.

WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, and FRIDAY

Wednesday will be cooler than the two previous days. The stalled front in the area is responsible for 30-40% PoPs of light snow. This 'stationary' front is progged to oscillate north and south over the course of Wednesday and Thursday... leaving temp forecasts with plenty of uncertainty this far out.

Global models continue to insist on depicting another arctic cold front on Friday. If the forecast validates, it would mean a Saturday and Sunday morning of single digit lows. It's quite early in the season, but Omaha has already found itself in the 'severe' category of the "accumulated winter season severity index". These cold air outbreaks won't be helping.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/

Issued at 528 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Widespread IFR (west) and MVFR (east) stratus clouds across the area today are expected to slowly lift over the course of the day's first half with MVFR cigs expected by about mid-day. It'll happen a little earlier at KOFK as it's been on the edge of the cloud deck all night.

Again, some guidance keeps the clouds around all day, but that turned out to be too conservative yesterday and I expect the same thing today. Southerly winds this morning change very little over the next 24 hours beyond a growing westerly component.
