Today and tonight...
An upper trough extends from the West Coast to the Midwest. Breezy northwest winds are across south central and central Nebraska and north central Kansas. Temperatures are mostly in the 60s with clearing skies. Winds will transition to the south tonight as the surface high moves east of the area. Low temperatures tonight will range from the mid 30s to mid 40s.
Friday and Friday night...
An upper trough from the west will begin moving over the northern and central Plains on Friday. Winds will increase out of the south to southeast Friday afternoon.

Atmospheric lift will increase across south central and central Nebraska and north central Kansas. Fairly high wind shear, moisture, and mid-level lapse rates will be across the area as well Friday night. These conditions will allow for an increase in rain and storm chances (up to near 90%) Friday evening and night. Some of these storms may be strong to severe with most of the area outlooked in a marginal risk of severe weather per the latest SPC Day 2 outlook. Damaging winds will be the greatest threat with these storms although some hail up to the size of quarters and localized flooding will be possible. Low temperatures Friday night are expected to range from the mid 30s to low 50s.

Winds will transition to the east to southeast Saturday night as the surface high moves across eastern Nebraska into Iowa.
Low temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s Saturday night. An upper trough will be present over the western part of the country on Sunday with upper disturbances moving over Nebraska and Kansas. Some rain showers will be possible (up to around a 40% chance) in the morning and afternoon on Sunday. High temperatures on Sunday are expected to be in the 60s with breezy southeast winds. These breezy southeast winds will continue into Sunday night with low temperatures in the 50s. Rain and storm chances (up to around 50%)
will continue Sunday night as the upper trough from the west begins to move over the central and northern Plains.
Monday and Monday night...
The upper trough will move further east on Monday and will begin to lift northeast by Monday evening with the upper low over Kansas and Nebraska. Winds will continue to strengthen out of the southeast to south on Monday with showers and thunderstorms possible (up to near a 70% chance). High temperatures on Monday will range from the lower 70s to lower 80s. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible (about a 30% chance) Monday afternoon into the early evening hours.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/
Issued at 611 PM CDT Thu May 2 2024
SFC high pressure will sit over the TAF sites this evening which give the sites light winds for a few hours. The SFC high will move SE which will bring SE winds to the TAF sites overnight.
Tomorrow mid-day the gradient will tighten with an approaching cold front which will allow the winds to gust into the mid to upper 20s tomorrow afternoon. VFR expected through the period.
Looking ahead the 6z TAFs will probably have a mention of VCTS for tomorrow evenings thunderstorms.
