.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 328 AM CDT Mon Sep 8 2025
Showers and thunderstorms developed along the edge of the low
level jet early this morning and are continuing to increase in
coverage. While severe weather is unlikely with this activity
given the weak shear, ample instability could result in a few
small hail cores or gusty winds promoting a strong storm or two.
Models have been anticipating this development the past few
hours...and track it east of the local area by around daybreak.
At the same time, decaying convection approaching the area from
the high plains may help initiate another round of showers and
thunderstorms in the wake of the current convection during the
morning hours, with isolated shower or thunderstorm activity
also possible this afternoon and evening with an approaching
upper level disturbance.
As high pressure then begins to move across the area from the
west on Tuesday, temperatures will continue their gradual
upward trend each afternoon, eventually peaking around Friday as
the upper level ridge gets squeezed across the plains in
response to a deep west coast trough. At the same time, multiple
weak disturbances emerging out of the southwesterly flow aloft
will periodically impact the local area, with near daily chances
for at least spotty showers and thunderstorms. This does not
look like an overly wet period, but some showers or
thunderstorms could impact at least parts of the local area each
day.
Overall, just a messy looking upper level pattern with
occasionally small chances for showers and thunderstorms across
the local area, with no obvious signs of widespread of severe
weather through at least the end of the work week.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 633 AM CDT Mon Sep 8 2025
For KGRI/KEAR Airports:
Prevailing VFR conditions are expected through the period with
SHRAs/TSRAs exiting to the east this morning and some light
sprinkles approaching from the west. While there could be an
isolated -TSRA/-SHRA that impacts either terminal really through
the period, odds at either terminal are so low that did not
even include a prob30 group at this time. As a result...expect
little more than passing mid/high level clouds along with gusty
southerly winds this afternoon...with gusts to near 25
KTS...which are not expected to diminish until around 09/00Z.
