DISCUSSION
Issued at 211 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Skies have cleared across the area, and westerly winds are pushing temperatures into the 40s and 50s. This continues tomorrow, with stronger westerly winds pushing temperatures into the 50s and 60s across the area. The most intense winds are expected to remain over western Nebraska and South Dakota, but locally gusts could still reach the 30 MPH in many areas. Clouds increase late Tuesday, but any precipitation associated with a clipper system should remain safely to our north and east.

Northwesterly winds will increase as a cold front pushes through the area Tuesday evening into Tuesday night. Gusts around 40 MPH will be possible in northern areas to start the day on Wednesday, but will gradually diminish through the day.
Wednesday will be cooler in the post-frontal airmass (but not particularly cold by December standards). There is still a low chance (20-30%) for light precip (mainly snow) in northern areas Wednesday night into Thursday morning, but the trend has been downward on global ensembles runs.

Another quick-moving upper-level shortwave brings another opportunity for flurries or light snow to the area Thursday night, but otherwise the forecast remains quiet and dry through the weekend and into next week. In fact, The GEFS and EPS ensembles indicate a 50-90% chance of seeing LESS than 0.10" of QPF through the next 10 days.

The shortwave Thursday night will push some colder air into the region for Friday through the weekend. Single digit lows and high temperatures in the 20s are expected for much of the area (a touch warmer in the south and southwest).
