.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 402 AM CDT Sat Sep 6 2025
Frost advisory for portions of north central and northwest Nebraska
is on track early this morning. Temperature as of 2am MDT was
32 degrees at Gordon. Clear skies, light winds and dew points
in the upper 20s to lower 30s, will allow temperatures to fall
to between 30-35F across much of the frost advisory area through
sunrise.
Surface high pressure is currently centered across northern
Nebraska. The center will migrate eastward into western Iowa by this
evening. Winds will remain light though tonight with some increase
in high cloudiness later tonight. The Canadian airmass
currently in place will modify some and not expecting any frost
tonight.
As the high center shifts farther eastward Sunday, southerly low-
level flow will increase. Low-level moisture will be pulled
northward, with dew points rising into the mid 50s to lower
60s. This will help minimize fire weather concerns despite the
warmer temperatures and moderate south winds. Fire weather
concerns do increase some on Monday across portions of western
Nebraska, west of Highway 83. A weak surface trough will move
eastward to near Highway 83 by afternoon. West to northwest
winds behind this trough will advect drier off the higher
terrain into western Nebraska. Humidity values will fall to
between 25-30%, as winds gust to around 20 mph, and high
temperatures reach well into the 80s. More of the same Tuesday,
with again some fire weather concern mainly west of Highway 83.
At this time no critical conditions are expected, but elevated
conditions certainly look possible for the mentioned areas both
Monday and Tuesday.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 402 AM CDT Sat Sep 6 2025
A pattern shift occurs Wednesday through the end of the week. A Long
wave trough will deepen across the western CONUS. As this occurs,
winds aloft will become southwesterly across our region ahead of
this feature. Southerly low-level flow will also increase as leeward
troughing deepens across the western high plains. A continuous stream
of modified Gulf air will move northward across the area. This
will limit fire weather concerns, as lowest humidity values
WED-FRI should remain 40% or higher. Rain chances will begin to
increase as several disturbances move northeastward across the
area within the southwest flow aloft. The threat for severe
weather seems low at this time as flow aloft remains fairly
weak. PWATS do increase significantly however, and a localized
heavy rain threat could develop as several rounds of showers and
thunderstorms could occur. Otherwise temperatures look to
remain warm, with highs though the period in the lower to mid
80s. Lows will be above average with the increased moisture/humidity.
