.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 241 AM CST Thu Nov 21 2024

A strong zonal oriented jet stream will be positioned across the
Central Plains over the weekend and into next week. A lack of
amplification in the upper pattern will keep colder air locked
away well to the north, though a couple of weak cold fronts will
be able to reach our CWA. The first arrives Monday with a second
front expected around Thanksgiving. Neither front will be
particularly strong, but will be enough to keep temperatures near
normal for this forecast. No precipitation is expected in the
extended forecast.
