LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

For Sunday, expect slightly cooler highs in the low 70s with a few clouds and dry conditions as sfc high pressure moves in. Temperatures rebound for Monday to the 80s as 1000-500 mb thicknesses expand and move toward the Central Plains.

An H5 wave is progged to track from southern Saskatchewan into North Dakota and Minnesota late Monday into Tuesday morning. The feature will induce sfc cyclogenesis with a front swinging through the area overnight. A few showers and storms may develop with this feature as PoPs remain at 20 to 45%, but are largely confined to far northeast Nebraska into west central Iowa. Warm temperatures continue for the remainder of Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the 80s and dry conditions.

Expect slightly warmer temperatures for Thursday with highs in the mid to upper 80s, while locations in our far southwest could approach 90F. Chances for showers and storms return too, currently at 15 to 30%.

AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/

Issued at 541 AM CDT Fri May 8 2026

VFR conditions continue through the TAF period. Light showers are moving across the region early this morning. These showers are not resulting in aviation impacts due to very dry air in the lower part of the atmosphere. Broken and overcast ceilings will linger with these showers through the morning hours. Winds remain generally light and variable across the area. A weak cold front slides southeast through the area late this morning into the afternoon. Gradually clearing skies with a northwest wind shift can be anticipated behind the front.
