.DISCUSSION...

Today...

Patchy fog developed over northeast Nebraska once again as
temperatures dropped into the 40s and 50s overnight. Expect fog to
burn off quickly with the rising sun.

The low pressure system effecting the region for the last few days
will finally attempt to move east/southeast today, but not before
bringing one last push of showery precipitation to the forecast
area. Rain currently near the Kansas/Nebraska border will continue
to drift southeast with the departing low this morning. More
scattered showers will blossom over eastern and central Nebraska, as
a lobe of vorticity swings through this afternoon. Once again the
threat for any severe storms looks to remain low. However,
increasing 0-3 km CAPE, low level vorticity and steepening 0-3 km
lapse rates suggest we could see a few more pesky funnel clouds with
the showers that develop this afternoon. Once again, the chances of
any of these funnel clouds reaching the ground is very low. In
addition to the funnels, a couple of CAMs do hint at some gustier
winds (30-35kts) will be possible under the stronger showers/storms.

Temperatures will warm a few more degrees today, reaching the into
the lower 70s this afternoon.

Friday through Sunday...

From Friday into the weekend, a mid-level ridge begins to move into
the central CONUS behind the departing low. Several models continue
to indicate the potential for a weak shortwave passing through the
central plains, bringing another round of showers to the region on
Saturday. Models continue to waffle on the exact track and timing of
this system. Therefore, we will continue to maintain slight chance
PoPs (15-20%).

Our warming trend will likely continue through this time period,
with highs forecast to reach into the 80s by the weekend.

Monday and Beyond...

Behind the midlevel ridge, models indicate a trough moving across
the western and central CONUS. Machine learning probs continue to
depict some potential for severe storms across the Central Plains
associated with this trough early next week. Currently, the greatest
chances look to be sometime between Tuesday and Thursday. That being
said, there are still plenty of days to hone in on the greatest
potential, but it`s still worth keeping a close on the potential for
midweek storms.

Warm temperatures are expected to continue into early next week, with
highs approaching 90 on Monday. Temps then gradually cool into 70s
and low 80s by mid week.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1120 PM CDT Wed May 28 2025

Confidence is increasing for reduced visibilities in the KOFK
vicinity overnight, with a few area observations at
KOLU/KGRI/KVMR falling to 4-5 miles already. The current
forecast is more bullish on fog formation than most model
guidance, with MVFR visibilities moving in at 08z, with 09-12z
being the most likely time period of seeing 1 SM or less. Aside
from that, weak to calm winds overnight out of the north are
expected with low- coverage showers possible tomorrow afternoon.
In addition, a low cloud field will likely form late in the
morning and lift from FL025 into VFR territory by the afternoon
hours.
